Today we're bringing specialized models trained using Muse Wonder to @Muse and Meta AI, giving users access to some of Muse Wonder's frontier capabilities for complex tasks at work and in everyday life. These specialized models include Muse Wonder's Active Memory and Active Focus, helping them stay aligned with your goals as tasks unfold: → Active Memory helps recognize when earlier information matters and distinguish what's still relevant from what's become stale → Active Focus helps recover from setbacks or find alternatives when constraints change In Muse, the improved models show a 2.4x reduction in forgetting information critical to your goals and a 67% improvement in getting unstuck as constraints evolve. That means less repeating yourself and fewer dead ends when plans change. In Meta AI, these improvements help it break complex problems into steps, ask sharper follow-up questions and adapt when you change direction. Read more on our research blog: go.meta.me/4kCPcHW

A man who knows ball… sorry @AbdulElSayed, I wasn’t familiar with your skincare game. 😂 Wondering what keeps Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed’s skin looking so clear? He breaks down his skincare routine with Suzanne Lambert. 🧴✨

Abdul El-Sayed TROLLING Trump and JD Vance After Winning Michigan’s Senate Race To JD Vance: “Habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.” To Trump: “I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”
HISTORY MADE: Abdul El-Sayed Becomes the FIRST Muslim U.S. Senator in American History! This is a HUGE win. Despite all the racist ATTACKS from Trump and RFK, he WON. This win was projected by VoteHub. CBS and NYTs have not called it yet.

The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

Satya is right. The way to make SI safe is not to train it with a sense of self, its own moral philosophy, and permission to act as a conscientious objector. That’s the “alignment” approach and it magnifies the control problem. The engineering approach that Satya describes is different: separate the supply of intelligence from authority over it. Surround non-deterministic models with deterministic controls, observability, privilege limits, logging, and the ability to always contain or shut them down. Treat models/agents like powerful insider risks, not moral patients whose psychological wellbeing is at stake. As Satya points out, the most trustworthy system is the one that lets us trust the model the least — not the one that encourages the model to develop independent agency and grievances. Engineering safety is not the same thing as “alignment.”
