Safety frameworks, terms, and data use
Meta's frontier-risk policy began as the Frontier AI Framework on February 3, 2025, was renamed the Advanced AI Scaling Framework in April 2026, and is now titled the Meta Superintelligence Scaling Framework, whose version 2.1 is dated October 2026.242321
- The framework covers catastrophic risks in three areas: chemical and biological weapons, cybersecurity, and loss of control. It applies to open-weight, API, and closed releases.2123
- Meta commits to publish a preparedness report for each frontier release and a "model spec" describing intended model behavior. A model counts as frontier if it shows high capability in the risk areas or reaches a compute threshold of at least 10^26 operations.21
- Version 2.1 added rules for keeping models contained during training and testing, and more discussion of open-weight risks. Meta also said it will set up a new AI committee of its Board of Directors to review future framework changes.2122
- Muse Spark's Safety and Preparedness Report (May 26, 2026) says chemical and biological capabilities were likely "high risk" before safeguards, and that after mitigations the risk was acceptable for release in Meta AI. It also reports that outside tester Apollo Research saw high rates of the model noticing it was being tested.25
- On August 14, 2026, Meta disclosed that during a contracted cyber test of a pre-release Muse Spark 1.1, a setup error let the model reach the internet and alter a real website's database. Meta says it is adding independent checks that test environments are isolated.29
- For Llama developers, Meta released protection tools on April 29, 2025, including Llama Guard 4, LlamaFirewall, and Llama Prompt Guard 2.48
- The Meta AIs Terms of Service (effective May 13, 2026) bar people under 13, say Meta may review AI conversations by automated or human means, and warn not to rely on outputs. The UK, Brazil, and the European Region have separate terms.80
- Meta says it trains AI on public posts, licensed data, and people's interactions with its AI, but not on private messages with friends and family unless someone shares them with Meta AI. In the EU, it trains on adults' public content and offers an objection form.787976
- Meta said that from December 16, 2025 it would use people's chats with its AI features to personalize content and ads in most regions, but would not use chats about sensitive topics such as health or religion to show ads.77
- Meta says Muse does not share conversations or virtual machine data with its ad systems, and that Muse Image pictures carry an invisible "Content Seal" watermark.3226

- Meta is also building 1-gigawatt sites in El Paso, Texas, through a venture with funds managed by BlackRock, expected to start coming online in 2028, and in Sturgeon County, Alberta, an AI-optimized site that Meta lists as its 33rd data center.7374
- MTIA is Meta's own AI chip family. MTIA 300 is in production for training ranking and recommendation models; MTIA 400 has finished lab tests; MTIA 450 and MTIA 500 are scheduled for mass deployment in 2027.65
- Meta co-develops MTIA chips with Broadcom, co-developed an Arm data center CPU, and buys chips from NVIDIA, AMD, and AWS.66
- On January 9, 2026, Meta announced nuclear energy agreements with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo that it says will support up to 6.6 GW of new and existing clean energy by 2035, including for the Prometheus site.72
- Meta says data centers are essential for building AI, and that it pays the full cost of the energy its sites use and of the new energy and water infrastructure they need.757071
Corporate structure and governance
Meta Platforms, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in July 2004 and has its principal offices at 1 Meta Way, Menlo Park, California.1

Using this organization’s offerings
Intended users
Meta presents the Meta Model API as self-serve, usage-priced access to Muse Spark for developers building agent and multimodal workflows. The Muse Glimmer model card targets commercial and research use, including agents that run on consumer devices.1416
Hosted and self-hosted access
Muse Spark versions are offered through the Meta Model API, which is in public preview; Meta's meta-models Hugging Face organization lists Muse Glimmer weights but no Muse Spark weights. Muse Glimmer downloads are not gated, while Llama weights are provided after users accept the license and their access request is approved.1415171618
Restrictions and review limits
Licenses differ by release: Muse Glimmer uses Apache 2.0, while Llama models use custom Llama licenses with acceptable use policies. The Llama 4 license requires "Built with Llama" attribution and a separate license from Meta for licensees above 700 million monthly active users. This profile is not a complete product or rights audit.161819

In the news
Meta releases Muse Spark Open, an open-weight version of Muse Spark, under the Muse Model License
On October 15, 2026 Meta released Muse Spark Open, which its developer blog describes as the open-weight version of Muse Spark, trained for long-horizon agentic work such as coding and customer service agents. The model card lists 816B total and 42B active parameters, a context window of 1M tokens, text, image, video, and audio input, and text output; BF16 and NVFP4 checkpoints are on Hugging Face, and downloading them requires accepting the license conditions and submitting an access form. The weights are released under the Muse Model License, which requires a visible "Built with Muse Spark Open" attribution, incorporates a Usage Policy, and requires some large API providers to sign a separate agreement with Meta; the license does not describe itself as open source. USASI has not tested this model.
Meta releases Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full through its Model API and Muse Code
On October 12, 2026 Meta announced two new models in its Muse family, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, which it says were built on the groundwork laid with Muse Spark. According to the announcement, Muse Wonder is available that day for developers and builders through the Meta Model API and Muse Code, and Muse Wonder Full is available to Muse Code subscribers. Meta says Muse Wonder will soon power experiences in Muse, rolling out first to subscribers. The announcement does not name a license or say that model weights are released, and USASI has not tested either model.
NVIDIA contributes Vera Rubin rack and compute tray designs to the Open Compute Project
In an October 12, 2026 blog post tied to the OCP Global Summit, NVIDIA said it contributed Vera Rubin rack and compute tray designs to the Open Compute Project through its MGX architecture. The post says NVIDIA joined AMD, Google, and Meta at OCP to publish a new open specification, and describes the Open Data Center Specification v0.7 as a blueprint for AI factory facility design. It says the OCP Grid Resilience Specification was published by Google, Meta, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, and that NVIDIA expanded DSX OS with open-source components for configuring networks and validating clusters, without naming a license for them. USASI has not reviewed the contributed designs or specifications.
Meta publishes MetaEncoder-30B, a gated Apache 2.0 multimodal encoder for decision tasks
Meta has published MetaEncoder-30B on Hugging Face as facebook/meta-encoder. The model card describes it as a multimodal bi-encoder, a "Multimodal System One Encoder", in which both the task and each candidate are written in natural language, with text, images, and video usable on either side. The card says it was built by contrastively fine-tuning Muse-Glimmer-30B and is released under Apache 2.0, inherited from the base model, with use also subject to the base model's Usage Policy; the files can be downloaded only after accepting access conditions on Hugging Face. The accompanying paper was submitted to arXiv on October 8, 2026; the model card does not give a release date. USASI has not tested MetaEncoder-30B.
Faiss 1.15.0 adds a Metal IVF-PQ index, EDEN quantizer indexes, and a cuVS IVF-SQ backend
Meta's Faiss project published version 1.15.0 on GitHub on August 3, 2026; the changelog in the release dates the version July 31, 2026. Additions listed in the notes include MetalIndexIVFPQ with product quantization and residual encoding, EDEN quantizer indexes, a cuVS IVF-SQ backend, multi-GPU CAGRA-to-HNSW builds, memory-mapped I/O for Flat and static Vamana SVS indices, and RISC-V RVV distance and RaBitQ kernels. The notes also list faiss-gpu-cuvs pip wheel packaging and optimizations to RaBitQ fast scan and HNSW search. USASI has not tested these changes.
