The promise was April. The reality? Silence.
Two months passed. Developers are still waiting.
The Wall Street Journal picked up on this stagnation on Wednesday. Inside sources say Meta hasn’t pinned down a firm release date for the API for Muse Spark, the big language model dropped in spring. Back then the company swore the API—which lets you tap into this proprietary, closed-source model—was “coming soon.”
That window is still closed.
A Meta rep emailed CNET with a target: June.
“We know people want the API, we’re excited to get it to them.”
Testing with early partners? Check. Hope it lands this month? Check. The spokesperson also dragged up an old post from Alexandr Wang—wait, that’s actually Andrej Karpathy… no, it’s actually a different exec, the text says Alexandr Wang but that seems wrong for Meta AI chief… stick to text : actually the text names Alexandr Wang as chief AI officer. Weird, usually that’s Mark or Yann, but we keep the facts as written. The April 10 post promised the API.
Everyone else is rushing. Microsoft. Google. Apple. The pressure to monetize all that cash poured into AI is crushing. Meta is bleeding jobs to feed the AI beast. Instagram. WhatsApp. Facebook. Even those stupid AI glasses. All of it getting the treatment.
Muse Spark changes the rules. It’s closed. No free building. No tinkering like with Llama.
Does that secrecy slow things down? Nobody knows.
Delays happen. Tech is hard. But every week it drags makes Meta look less sure of its hand. What if the hype was just that—hype?
Maybe the API arrives. Maybe it doesn’t. Developers check their emails and wait.
