Meta’s Superintelligence Lab unveiled Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full on Monday, marking the company’s first frontier model release. These larger systems surpass the lightweight Muse Spark, delivering higher benchmark scores and improved coding performance. According to Meta’s testing, Wonder and Wonder Full match or exceed Fable 5.1 and GPT‑6 Astra, and both achieve higher scores on the MemoryBench benchmark than Fable, Opus, or Astra. The models feature active memory, allowing them to retain and synthesize user information over days, weeks, months, and beyond. Pricing through the Meta Model API sets Wonder at four dollars per million input tokens and twenty dollars per million output tokens, comparable to GPT‑6 Sol and Opus 5.5. Wonder Full will be exclusive to Muse Code subscribers and not available via the API, while both models power the Muse agent.
