Meta Debuts AI Image Model With Code, Search Tools

Meta Platforms launched Muse Image, an image generation model with web search and code-writing capabilities. The model, released through the Meta AI chatbot, can generate images from detailed prompts, edit existing photos, and use reasoning before generating output rather than the common best-of-N approach. Muse Image integrates with Meta's Muse Spark reasoning model for complex tasks and features self-refining behavior that emerged during training. Currently available in limited markets, Meta plans to expand it to Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram, with advertiser access through its Advantage+ tools coming soon.
