Meta has repeatedly pushed back plans to release its new Muse Spark AI model API to developers, and as of Tuesday, had no ‌scheduled ⁠launch date, ⁠the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

A Meta spokesperson told Reuters on Wednesday ​that the company is already testing the Application Programming Interface (API) with some early partners ​and is looking forward ⁠to releasing it ‌this month.

Earlier on Wednesday, Meta unveiled an AI agent aimed at helping businesses carry out day-to-day operations, hinting at the company's ambitions to compete with rivals such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Alphabet's Google.
