Meta Platforms: Muse Spark 1.3 Was The Warning Shot
Muse Spark 1.3 materially narrows Meta Platforms, Inc.'s performance and token efficiency gap with leading frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI, restoring credibility to its AI strategy.

Q2 revenue reached $234 million, backlog climbed to $2.36 billion, and Space Systems generated 81% of revenue, reinforcing Rocket Lab's infrastructure transition.
