Meta released Muse Image, an AI model for generating images, through its Meta AI app, Instagram Stories, WhatsApp, and advertising tools to attract creators and subscribers. The model performs below OpenAI's GPT Image 2 but outperforms Google's Nano Banana 2 on image editing tasks. Power users need paid subscriptions to create multiple images, while Meta aims to reduce reliance on third-party image generation services and monetize AI infrastructure investments.

Meta deployed Muse Image, its generative image model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta AI to let users create, edit, and share images through conversational prompts. The rollout includes over 30 new AI-powered effects for Instagram Stories, room redesign features using Facebook Marketplace products, and the ability to generate images in WhatsApp direct chats across limited countries. Meta removed a feature allowing users to @-mention public Instagram accounts as reference material after user feedback, and plans to expand Muse Image to Facebook, Messenger, and additional surfaces while offering it free for basic use or as part of paid subscription plans.
