Meta's AI app saw a massive surge in installs after the launch of its new AI model, Muse Spark, which marked a significant step forward for the company's AI efforts. Developed under Alexandr Wang, head of Meta's Superintelligence Labs, Muse Spark offers multimodal input, including text, voice, and images, and can handle complex tasks like helping users learn about health or solve problems in science and math. The app, which was upgraded with a new look and features, moved from No. 57 on the App Store to No. 5 within a day of the model's release. Despite the jump, Meta’s app still trails behind rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. The company plans to integrate Muse Spark across various platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. Worldwide, Meta AI has accumulated 60.5 million installs, with a large portion of those occurring in the past year, signaling strong consumer interest. India currently leads as the app’s top market by downloads.
