What it is¶

Muse is a model family from Meta Superintelligence Labs. Muse Image generates and edits images, while Muse Video remains a preview.

• Image generation from conversational prompts
• Image editing on uploaded or generated files with markup
• Reference combination across multiple inputs, using web or coding tools
• Content Seal provenance on images made in Meta AI

Meta announced app and web access for Muse Image. It has not announced a public Muse Image API or a Muse Video release. Use Muse Image as an in-product workflow, not as a production video or developer API dependency.

Development line¶

• 2026-07-08 — Muse Image, Muse Video, and MSL announcement. Meta AI published an announcement on 2026-07-08 identifying Muse Image, Muse Video, and MSL. The release introduced named components of the Muse project without technical specifications, capabilities, or availability details.

What changed¶

• 2026-04-08 — Muse Spark introduced the Muse model family and supplied the reasoning and tool-use layer for Muse Image.
• 2026-07-07 — Meta launched Muse Image and previewed Muse Video. Muse Image became available in Meta AI and selected Meta surfaces, while video remained forthcoming.
• 2026-07-10 — Meta removed the public Instagram account @-mention reference feature after feedback. It is not current workflow guidance.

How to use this¶

Treat Muse Image, Muse Video, and MSL as a dated development line from 2026-07-08. Check the primary announcement for access details and capabilities before adoption.

1. Open Meta AI in the app or at meta.ai, describe the image in plain language, and generate from scratch or an uploaded photo. — Introducing Muse Image
2. For an edit, use the markup control to circle, sketch, or annotate the area. State the change and continue the conversation for refinements. — Introducing Muse Image
3. For a composition, attach reference images and state the roles, scene, and style together. Muse Image supports multiple references in one prompt. — Introducing Muse Image and Muse Video

Best practices¶

• Combine direct markup with a specific edit instruction when altering one area. This gives the tool a target region and an intended result. — Introducing Muse Image
• Treat Instagram public-account @-mentions as unavailable. Do not design workflows around them. — Introducing Muse Image
• Check Content Seal when provenance matters. Do not assume it covers third-party or non-Meta images. — Introducing Muse Image and Muse Video

Superseded by this¶

• 2026-07-10 — Guidance to use public Instagram-account @-mentions as visual references is obsolete. Meta withdrew the feature.

Still unknown¶

• Country-by-country availability, pricing, generation limits, and a public Muse Image API remain unannounced by first-party sources.
• Verified release workflows for Muse Video; Meta still describes it as a forthcoming preview.
• Regional rollout details outside Meta AI, meta.ai, US Instagram Stories, and limited-country WhatsApp for the 2026-07-08 announcement (noted from Meta’s July 7 release, source date 2026-07-07: Introducing Muse Image and Muse Video).
• Reasoning and tool-use integration specifics for Muse Spark beyond its 2026-04-08 launch in Meta AI and meta.ai (Introducing Muse Spark).
• Replacement reference features after Meta removed public Instagram account @-mentions on 2026-07-10 (Introducing Muse Image).
