Meta says Muse Wonder Full generalizes better than Muse Spark 1.3 to unfamiliar tasks
Overview
Meta says Muse Wonder Full scores higher than the Muse Spark 1.3 trend predicts on tasks not covered by post-training.
In a test-time compute scaling comparison, both models improved similarly on tasks seen during post-training, but Muse Wonder Full did better on unfamiliar tasks. Meta attributes the gap to a stronger base model that carries post-training gains to tasks it did not anticipate.
A later Meta post from the same account repeats the claim, but frames the comparison as holding in-distribution scores equal before measuring out-of-distribution performance. The earlier and later posts describe the same result with different wording about the baseline.

AI at Meta@AIatMetaOfficialMeta says Muse Wonder Full generalizes better to unfamiliar tasksAIMeta compared test-time compute scaling on tasks seen during post-training with unfamiliar tasks, finding that Muse Wonder Full and Muse Spark 1.3 improve similarly out-of-distribution. At the same in-distribution score, Muse Wonder Full outperforms the Muse Spark 1.3 trend on unfamiliar tasks, which Meta attributes to a stronger base model.

AI at Meta@AIatMetaOfficialMeta says Muse Wonder Full handles unfamiliar tasks better than Muse Spark 1.3AIMeta compared test-time compute scaling for two models on tasks seen during post-training and on unfamiliar tasks. Both models improve similarly on familiar tasks, but Muse Wonder Full scores higher out of distribution than the Muse Spark 1.3 trend predicts. Meta attributes this to a stronger base model that transfers post-training gains to unanticipated tasks.
