Meta's Small Model Muse Spark Outranks Astra DeepSwe as Unreleased Model Climbs Benchmarks
altryne · x · 2026-09-04
Blogger altryne notes that while OpenAI may have won the day, Meta — not Anthropic, Google, or xAI — took second place. Meta's Muse Spark scored above Astra DeepSwe, and an unreleased Meta model is already showing higher on Artificial Analysis (though confusingly). Notably, Spark is Meta's small model, hinting at bigger things from its unreleased flagship. An interesting shuffle at the top of AI, per the author.
