The same day, Simon Willison reported that Meta AI calls it its most capable model to date, and that Artificial Analysis rates Muse Wonder (Max) as comparable to GPT-6.1 Sol.

On 15 October 2026, The Verge reported that Google released Gemini 4 Argon and Meta released Muse Wonder Full, with both companies saying their models can compete with the flagship models of OpenAI and Anthropic on multiple benchmarks; Google set aggressive pricing for Argon, undercutting rivals by up to 80% per token during the promotional period, and the article argues the AI race has entered a new phase. Details such as the parameters and pricing of the two models were not given in any of the reports.
