Meta’s Muse AI Models Arrive on Google Cloud; Sundar Pichai Welcomes Zuckerberg’s Announcement

Three of Meta’s newest artificial intelligence models can now be used through Google Cloud, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on X. The models — Muse Ember, Muse Spark 1.3 and Muse Wonder — are offered as managed APIs in Google Cloud’s Model Garden, The Hans India reported on 10 November.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai replied to the post, congratulating Meta, welcoming its models to the Model Garden and saying Google was excited to offer them to its cloud customers.

The three models

• Muse Ember is Meta’s smallest and cheapest model in the family. It can take in text, images, audio and video and is aimed at coding, tool calling, document review and other high-volume jobs. Meta pitches it as matching Claude Haiku-level performance at about a third of the cost per task; this is the company’s own claim.
• Muse Spark 1.3 is a general-purpose agent model meant for long, multi-step workflows, with built-in tool calling and support for MCP servers.
• Muse Wonder is described as Meta’s frontier model for demanding software engineering. It supports computer use, long context, parallel tool calls, sub-agents and memory, and can work in desktop browsers and mobile apps.

All three are multimodal and support context windows of up to one million tokens, according to the report. No per-token prices were given.

Rivals and partners

Google and Meta compete fiercely in AI, but the deal gives Meta another route to business customers and gives Google Cloud users a wider choice of models alongside Google’s own.
