Meta Launches Meta AI in Hong Kong, Powered by Muse Spark Model
Meta launched Meta AI in Hong Kong on September 11, 2026, powered by the Muse Spark model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The assistant is available through the Meta AI app and meta. ai and will roll out across Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp. It offers instant and thinking modes, image recognition, and multi-agent responses that handle tasks simultaneously from different angles.
Meta has officially launched Meta AI in Hong Kong. Users can access the feature through the Meta AI app and the meta. ai website, and it will be rolled out progressively across Meta's apps, including Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp.
Meta AI is powered by Muse Spark, the first model built specifically for Meta products by Meta Superintelligence Labs. The model offers an instant mode for quick responses and a thinking mode for deeper reasoning.
Users can employ Meta AI's image recognition feature to use images instead of typing. After photographing a foreign-language menu, a product of interest or market ingredients, Meta AI can identify the objects and add labels and markers to the image so users clearly understand what is being referenced. For more complex questions, the Meta AI app or the meta. ai website can dispatch multiple agents simultaneously to address a user's question from different angles. When planning a trip, for example, one agent can draft an itinerary, another can compare transport options and a third can find local attractions, all at the same time. Meta AI draws information from the broader internet and from public content that users share on Instagram, Facebook and Threads.
