Overview

Meta introduced Muse Image on July 7, 2026, its first image-generation model built by Meta Superintelligence Labs (internally codenamed "Mango"). Instead of a direct prompt-to-image mapping, Muse Image operates agentically: it invokes search and coding tools to improve accuracy, self-refines its own generations, and improves via scaling test-time compute; it supports multi-reference composition and precise iterative editing, and integrates with Muse Spark for joint planning. Meta reported it ranked No. 2 on the Arena leaderboard for text-to-image, single-image editing, and multi-image editing as of July 5, 2026, and applies invisible Content Seal watermarking to outputs. It shipped in the Meta AI app, meta.ai, Instagram Stories (US), and WhatsApp (limited countries), with Facebook support planned, and is priced on the Meta Model API at $0.01 per image.
