Meta Says Muse Wonder Reaches AI Frontier After $600 Billion Data Center Push

Summary
Meta’s Muse Wonder has reached the AI “frontier,” Mark Zuckerberg said, framing the model as the payoff from years of heavy compute spending and research after the company’s failed metaverse push.
A $600 billion data-center and hiring plan through 2028 underpins that claim, with Zuckerberg arguing AI progress should accelerate rather than slow and positioning Muse around consumer use cases, not just enterprise automation.
Muse has already gained traction: after launching in early September, it became the top agent-based traffic source on Human Security’s list with 72% of total traffic, while Citigroup projects $27 billion in annual revenue by 2030.
Security and trust remain immediate risks. Reports said Meta found serious flaws just before launch, including one that could have exposed internal systems, even as Muse expands the amount of user data Meta can collect.
That tension leaves Meta chasing AI leadership while testing whether massive infrastructure spending, enterprise expansion and privacy assurances such as a planned “Confidential VM” can outweigh investor, safety and bubble concerns.
