Meta Says Its Specialized Muse Models Hit 47% on Its Personal Superintelligence Index and 90% on Active Memory. Every Number Is Meta's, and There Is No Price Sheet.

Meta AI Research said on November 6 that it is rolling specialized versions of existing models, trained with Muse Wonder, into Muse and Meta AI, bringing two features it calls Active Memory and Active Focus. The chart claims: Personal Superintelligence Index 47% against 38% before, an Active Memory evaluation of 90% against 76%, 2.4 times less forgetting of critical information, and 67% better completion of everyday tasks that hit unexpected problems. The post names no parameters, no architecture, no license, no API price, and there is no Artificial Analysis row. We read the research blog.

Meta AI Research posted today, November 6, 2026, that it is rolling "specialized versions of existing models," trained with Muse Wonder, into Muse and Meta AI. Two features come with them: Active Memory, which is about carrying critical context across a task, and Active Focus, which is about finishing everyday tasks when something unexpected happens along the way. The post has a chart for each.

The chart numbers: on Meta's Personal Superintelligence Index, the current Muse scores 47% against 38% for the previous version. On an Active Memory evaluation, 90% of tasks correctly used critical context, against 76%. Meta claims 2.4 times less forgetting of critical information and a 67% improvement in completing everyday tasks where unexpected issues arise. What the post does not have is anything a buyer could act on: no parameter count, no architecture, no license, no API price, and no row on Artificial Analysis or any other independent board. We read the research blog. Here is what held up, which is the shape of the announcement rather than its numbers.

"Specialized versions of existing models" is not a model. There is no named base, no card, and no version string. Whatever shipped is a tuning of something Meta already runs, described by its teacher rather than itself.

The index is Meta's. A Personal Superintelligence Index is a benchmark Meta built to measure the thing Meta sells. A nine-point gain on it is a vendor result on a vendor test, and the Active Memory evaluation is the same.

Two products share one pitch. Muse is the agent product; Meta AI is the consumer assistant. The post rolls the same specialized models into both and does not say they behave the same.

Who Should Use It

Use the post as a teaser, which is what it is: Meta is telling Muse and Meta AI users that memory and task completion got better by its own measures.

Skip budgeting or benchmarking against it until there is a model card, an API price, or an independent row; a 47% on a vendor index cannot be compared with anything outside Meta.

The frontier is elsewhere: the Meta model with independent numbers is still Muse Spark Open, on a scale that has since changed. Our model comparison has the current standings side by side.
