Facebook's origins and the Meta name
Facebook launched in February 2004 and moved to Palo Alto that June. The company later brought services such as Instagram and WhatsApp into its business. In October 2021, it introduced Meta as the company brand while retaining Facebook as a product name.
Leadership and present structure
Mark Zuckerberg remains Meta's founder, chairman and CEO. Meta Platforms, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its executive address in Menlo Park and publicly traded Class A stock on Nasdaq. The company develops both consumer services and AI technology; a consumer assistant's name does not specify which model or API contract a developer receives.
Different access routes within one provider
The current Model API catalog lists Muse Wonder, Muse Spark, Muse Image, Muse Voice Transcribe and SAM 3.1. Muse Spark Open and Muse Glimmer are separate downloadable releases. Muse Code is an application that uses models; its name is not itself a base-model release.
What this selection includes
Practical guidance. This selection covers the reviewed current Muse APIs and weights, major Llama 3.1 through Llama 4 instruction releases, and SAM 3, SAM 3.1 and SAM 3D. It omits older Llama generations, every quantized package, unreleased announced sizes, and specialist research families such as DINO, V-JEPA and SAM Audio.
