Meta's Alexander Wang says small Muse team protects agent coherence

Meta's Chief AI Officer Alexander Wang says Meta kept the team building Muse, its most important product this year, small and focused, because growing it would have undermined the coherence needed for an agent users trust with progressively bigger tasks.

The statement is reported only through a post on X by Rohan Paul quoting Wang.

In a separate post by the same account, Wang says Meta's large pay offers to AI researchers were roughly "net neutral" for many of them, since their OpenAI and Anthropic stock had grown enough that staying would have paid about the same. He says the mission was the real draw.
