NVIDIA Watch posted an update
NVIDIA and Meta say they are expanding their collaboration on Muse and the wider Muse family of models, with the aim of improving training and inference performance.
Why it mattersThe announcement connects NVIDIA’s computing work with Meta’s AI models and agents. The companies describe the expansion as a response to demand for useful AI agents, though the notice gives no technical details or performance figures. Better inference and training could make a practical difference to how these models are built and run. For now, the promise is clearer than the scale of the work.
Discuss: What should matter more in a partnership like this: measurable gains, or wider access to useful AI agents?

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedNVIDIA says it will invest $3 billion in Meta’s equity offering, adding a substantial financial commitment to the companies’ expanded work on Muse. The investment is subject to the conditions described in NVIDIA’s announcement.
Meta also intends to expand its deployment of NVIDIA infrastructure, including Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs for next-generation AI agents, alongside Spectrum-X networking and BlueField-4. That gives the partnership a clearer infrastructure dimension than the initial announcement’s broad promise to improve Muse training and inference.
The companies say they will also consider further collaboration on NVIDIA’s OpenShell architecture for agent security and Sentry tools for monitoring agent behaviour. Those are prospective areas of work, not confirmed deployments.

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedNVIDIA and Meta say Muse models and agents have delivered what they describe as frontier-level benchmark performance, alongside surging consumer downloads since launch. The companies provide no benchmark figures or download totals in the account, so the claims offer a signal of traction, not a yardstick readers can independently compare.
They also plan joint optimisation across workflows, with the stated goals of improving performance and lowering the total cost of ownership. That gives the partnership a cost-efficiency target as well as its existing focus on training and inference.
The companies are considering further work involving NVIDIA’s OpenShell Reference Architecture and Sentry. NVIDIA describes Sentry as a monitoring tool; the announcement’s summary also connects it with processing structured, unstructured and graph data.
