Did you see Muse Spark?

Good morning! Meta is bringing a new AI “spark” to its platforms and Codex just went mobile. Time to dig in. 😁

⭐️ Today’s Feature

This link leads to one of the most interesting things I’ve seen in AI recently.

What’s new? Meta introduced Muse Spark, a new AI model that now powers Meta AI and is expanding across its apps, glasses, and shopping features.

Want the details? Muse Spark is Meta’s first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, built to be fast, flexible, and better connected to the apps people already use. It can handle voice conversations more naturally, understand images and live camera input, and pull helpful information from places like Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Reels, Maps, and Marketplace. Meta says it can also manage more complex tasks by using multiple AI agents at once, which helps it respond faster and with more context. The model is already live in the Meta AI app and website, and Meta is rolling it out to WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, Instagram, and its smart glasses.

Why should you care? Meta is trying to make AI more useful in everyday life, not just as a chatbot but as a built-in assistant across the products people already use. That could make shopping, search, communication, and real-time help much easier. It also shows Meta is pushing hard to make AI a central part of its platform ecosystem.

What’s new? OpenAI has added Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app, letting people control the desktop coding tool from an iPhone or Android phone.

How does it work? Codex is an AI tool that can write code and interact with apps on your computer. With this update, users can use the ChatGPT mobile app to give Codex instructions, review its work, approve commands, switch models, and start new tasks from their phone. OpenAI says the actual work still happens on the computer, which means your files, permissions, and local setup stay there. Meanwhile, updates are sent back to your phone in real time, including screenshots, terminal activity, code changes, test results, and approval requests.

What does this mean? This makes Codex much more flexible and convenient. People can now keep an eye on coding tasks even when they are away from their desk. It also shows that OpenAI is pushing harder to make its AI tools more useful in everyday work, especially for coding and productivity.
