Zuckerberg on Muse: 100M free tokens weekly, confidential VMs, and Meta's superintelligence bet
快鲤鱼 · wechat · 2026-09-11
Meta launched Muse, a personal AI agent backed by a virtual machine that operates a computer, logs into accounts, and runs projects around the clock, writing reflections into memory. Zuckerberg's interview with Alex Heath covered:
- Real uses: baking projects with his 3-year-old, watching for hiking permit slots, analyzing his MMA training footage.
- Pricing: 100M free tokens weekly plus a VM; long-term monetization via tiny transaction fees paid by merchants (Stripe partnership), aiming to keep it free for most people.
- Privacy/security: Signal creator Moxie Marlinspike hired to build confidential VMs Meta itself can't read; credential vault, sentinel agents watching for prompt injection and data exfiltration, per-action approvals, least-privilege defaults.
- Bigger picture: after Llama 4 disappointed, he rebuilt the superintelligence lab, insists on a full stack from models to chips to datacenters, and is training the next model Watermelon. He thinks the agent market will follow a power law with no more than a dozen top players, and sees personal agents as more important than open source for distributing AI power.
