Introducing Muse Image and Muse Video, the first media generation models developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs.
Muse Image is our most advanced image generation model yet. It follows instructions faithfully, edits with precision, composes from multiple references, and draws on Instagram for social context. It also brings agentic tool use capabilities to image generation and integrates with Muse Spark.
You can try Muse Image in the Meta AI app and web, as well as in Instagram Stories and WhatsApp – starting in limited countries with more locations on the way.
Today we’re also previewing Muse Video, which is built upon the same pretraining base as Muse Image to deliver exceptional visual fidelity with native audio support.
Learn more about both models: go.meta.me/7f4427

1/ today we're releasing muse spark, the first model from MSL. nine months ago we rebuilt our ai stack from scratch. new infrastructure, new architecture, new data pipelines. muse spark is the result of that work, and now it powers meta ai. 🧵

Why do we even need to learn how to mix motions? 🤔In our previous work (DualMDM), we found something very interesting 💡: when mixing motions throughout the denoising process, it actually works better to mix them differently at different steps.
Our initial hypothesis was that early in the denoising process, interpersonal dynamics (how people relate to each other) matter more 👫. Later on the denoising, interpersonal dynamics (how a person moves individually) become more important 💃. So, we proposed different mixing schedulers that adapt across steps 🧠📈.
This approach worked better than others, but it still had limitations. While some schedulers performed better on average, none of them worked perfectly across all motion combinations 🎭. Different motion pairs needed slightly different schedulers to perform well.
💥 That’s what motivated MixerMDM! We introduce the Mixer — a lightweight transformer module that predicts a mixing weight at every step of the denoising process, conditioned on the motions to be mixed and their textual descriptions 🌀🤖. This allows us to dynamically and consistently mix motions while maintaining strong individual controllability 💃🕺✨
📢 Introducing MixerMDM [#CVPR2025] — the first learnable model composition technique for combining pre-trained human motion diffusion models while preserving their core characteristics. 🟡➕🔵🟰🟢
MixerMDM enables consistent, fine-grained individual controllability in generating human-human interactions by:
🎛️ Mixer – A lightweight module that learns how to dynamically mix motions based on their specific characteristics and input conditions.
👩🏻🔬 Mixing – A model composition formula that combines motions dynamically through the denoising process, guided by Mixer predictions.
👮🏻♂️ Adversarial Training – A training strategy using adversarial losses, where predictions from the pre-trained models act as pseudo-ground truths.
🏅 Evaluation – A novel metric for measuring mixing quality, evaluating both individual and interaction alignment.

I’m excited to announce that 💫StarVector has been accepted at CVPR 2025! Over a year in the making, StarVector opens a new paradigm for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) generation by harnessing multimodal LLMs to generate SVG code that aesthetically mirrors input images and text. With this milestone, we’re also releasing StarVector on Hugging Face! 🥳🚀

Web Motion Visualizer 💃🕹️ An interactive visualization component to showcase your human motions on your website.
Rendering locally in your browser without frame drops thanks to @threejs and @reactjs 🔥
Stay tuned for the MixerMDM paper release (hopefully) at the end of next week. Soon after its release, I will explain in detail how this component works and its code will be open-sourced.
