   Meta launches Muse Image AI to generate and edit photos in chat, Instagram, WhatsApp

   Meta is rolling out Muse Image, its first image generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, now available in Meta AI. The model powers more than 30 new AI-powered effects for Instagram Stories and enables image generation in WhatsApp direct chats starting in limited countries. Users can also @-mention Instagram accounts to bring public photos into their generated images. Muse Image gives Meta AI users a creative tool that works in conversational language, handling complex tasks like erasing photobombers, rendering legible text in visuals, and redesigning rooms with real products from Facebook Marketplace. For advertisers and agencies, Muse Image will become available through Advantage+ creative in the coming weeks, expanding creative options for campaign production.

   Meta will expand Muse Image to more countries and to Facebook, Messenger, and additional surfaces on Instagram and WhatsApp in the coming weeks. Using Meta AI with Muse Image is free for everyday creation; subscription plans offer more capacity. Muse Video is already in development.

   Meta Launches Muse Image, AI Photo Generator—Stock Rises 3%

   Meta introduced Muse Image, its first standalone image generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The tool blends multiple photos, pulls Instagram profile imagery via @-mentions, and offers over 30 new creative effects. It integrates with Meta's Muse Spark text model and is being rolled out to WhatsApp and Instagram users. Meta Platforms Inc. (META) share price added 3% on Tuesday following the announcement. Meta's previous image and text models have lagged rivals like Google's Nano Banana and OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5. Muse Image addresses this by analyzing complex requests, overlaying real-world context, and accurately rendering text within images—problems earlier AI image tools struggled with. The rollout reflects CEO Mark Zuckerberg's broader effort to catch up with Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, efforts that have driven spending increases and layoffs at Meta.

   The basic functions will remain free for standard consumer tiers, though they will also be packaged as part of Meta's premium subscription plans. Meta has already begun development of Muse Video, a next-generation tier aimed at a holistic suite of personal assistant tools.

   Meta launches Muse Image AI model with Instagram photo tagging

   Meta's Superintelligence Labs has released Muse Image, an AI image generation model now powering tools across Meta AI, Instagram, and WhatsApp, with rollout to Facebook and Messenger coming soon. Users can @mention other Instagram accounts in prompts to incorporate their likeness into generated images, and the model can redesign rooms, transform images with suggested prompts, and enable direct editing by drawing on photos. Muse Image replaces Meta's Llama lineup as part of a broader shift toward a new family of AI models. The model works with Muse Spark (a large language model that reasons through prompts, searches the web, and plans before generating) and positions Meta to compete in image and video generation. Users retain control over how their likeness can be reused for AI, addressing a potential concern around consent.

   Meta is planning to launch a Muse Video model, which Wang says is "competitive on prompt adherence, visual fidelity, temporal consistency." Thirty new AI effects are coming to Instagram Stories in the US before rolling out to other countries and areas of Meta's apps.

   Reddit User Seeks GPU Advice for AI Agent Projects

   A Reddit user posted a question asking for guidance on choosing between AMD's Radeon 9070 XT and Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti for building AI agents, noting the price difference in their region—the 9070 XT costs around 1000 dollars while the 5070 Ti costs around 1300 dollars. The user is deciding which GPU to buy for learning to build AI agents, ranging from simple task managers to personal assistants and tools for video/image generation for D&D campaigns and marketing. The choice hinges on balancing performance, cost, and speed, since both price and computational capability matter for their projects.

   The user mentioned that Nvidia's CUDA cores are perceived as better for AI work, and also considered upgrading to the RTX 5080, which costs around 2000 dollars, though this price made them hesitant given the 9070 XT's lower cost.

   AI Reasoning Model Claims Second-Rank Performance Without Tokenizing Code

   A new AI reasoning model has achieved a #2 ranking among open-weights reasoning models by using a different approach to how it processes information—specifically, it does not tokenize (break down into small pieces) code and other deterministic data, treating them as native data types instead. The article argues that tokenizing code is inefficient and wastes computational resources, since code has exact syntax rules that don't require statistical learning. By handling code as raw data, the model appears to achieve strong performance metrics while potentially using less computational power, which could matter for businesses looking to deploy AI models cost-effectively.

   The core technical claim is that deterministic data (like code) should not be tokenized the same way natural language is, because doing so adds unnecessary tokens and processing steps. This design choice may point toward a broader shift in how AI models are built.
