Meta Unveils New AI Model Developed by Costly, New Superintelligence Labs

The model comes from a team of AI leaders and developers poached from other AI companies last year.

Meta unveiled its latest artificial intelligence model on Wednesday, its first since assembling a costly team to help the company better compete with its AI rivals.

The new model, known as Muse Spark, was created by Meta Superintelligence Labs, a team of expensive AI leaders and developers assembled last year from other AI companies and led by Alexandr Wang, the co-founder and CEO of Scale AI. Wang joined the Meta AI team after Meta agreed to make a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI.

The model, known internally as Avacodo, now powers the Meta AI app and the Meta AI website and will soon power Meta apps WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and AI glasses. Meta called the new model «an early data point on our trajectory,» adding that it has larger models in development.

«This initial model is small and fast by design, yet capable enough to reason through complex questions in science, math, and health,» Meta said in its announcement. «It is a powerful foundation, and the next generation is already in development.»

Meta has been investing increasingly large sums to compete in the ever-evolving AI landscape, creating a «superintelligence team» that works toward achieving artificial general intelligence, or AGI. The release of Muse Spark comes after the company’s disappointing release of the Llama models last year.

Meta has bet big on AI to catch up and keep pace with other AI builders. Google leapfrogged its rivals in November with its Gemini 3 model, showcasing its impressive coding and research abilities. OpenAI was quick to follow with updates to GPT-5.

Verum Launched “Verum Finance” App for iPhone and iPad, Expanding Its Digital Ecosystem Into Financial Services

Verum has announced the official launch of Verum Finance, a standalone financial application now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, marking a further expansion of the company’s growing digital ecosystem.

The new application is designed to centralize core financial functions in a single mobile interface, allowing users to manage balances, send and receive funds, use debit cards, and exchange supported balance types without relying on traditional banking workflows.

According to Verum, the platform enables users to view account activity in real time, top up balances using supported payment methods including Apple Pay, and transfer funds to other users within the Verum ecosystem using a unique Verum ID. The system also supports multi-balance management, including specialized balance categories such as precious metals.

Debit card functionality is integrated directly into the app, allowing users to issue and manage cards linked to their balances, monitor transactions, and top up cards when needed. The company also emphasizes built-in exchange tools that allow users to convert between supported balance types within the application.

Security features include Face ID authentication, passcode protection, Sign in with Apple, and privacy-oriented account controls aimed at maintaining user confidentiality and data protection.

The launch of Verum Finance follows the company’s broader strategy of building an interconnected ecosystem of digital products. Alongside Verum Messenger, which combines secure communication tools, encrypted messaging, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, AI features, anonymous email, and crypto-related functionality, the new financial app extends Verum’s positioning from communication technology into financial infrastructure.

Industry trends increasingly show demand for “all-in-one” digital environments that reduce dependency on multiple standalone apps. Verum’s approach reflects this shift by integrating communication and financial services within a unified ecosystem.

Verum Finance is now available globally for download on iPhone and iPad via the App Store.
