### Meta makes Muse Spark 1.1 available to consumers, debuts new Facebook features

Meta Platforms Inc. today [made](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/07/meta-ai-muse-spark-doesnt-just-think-it-acts/) its latest large language model available to consumers through its Meta AI chatbot.

The update is rolling out alongside several enhancements to Facebook. Meta’s flagship social network is receiving a new video-based account verification tool. Additionally, users can now access the Facebook Marketplace e-commerce platform through a mobile app.

Meta AI is a free AI service with a similar feature set to ChatGPT. Today’s update switched the chatbot to Muse Spark 1.1, an LLM that Meta [introduced](https://siliconangle.com/2026/07/09/meta-launches-flagship-muse-spark-1-1-model-multi-agent-upgrades/) earlier this month. The model supports prompts with up to 1 million tokens and can create groups of AI agents to tackle complex work.

According to Meta, the new version of Meta AI is better at tasks that require it to retrieve data from multiple sources. If the chatbot is asked to plan a trip, it can research destinations and check the user’s calendar for scheduling information. A consumer working on a kitchen renovation can ask Meta AI to find online furniture stores.

The new version of chatbot also lends itself to more complex research tasks. It can spend up to several minutes collecting information about a user-specified topic. Meta AI aggregates data from research papers, social networks and other sources. Users can optionally have it visualize the retrieved data.

Rounding out the list of AI enhancements is a new notification capability. Meta AI can inform users about events of interest and generate recurring alerts such as daily weather updates.

On launch, Muse Spark 1.1 is available to users in a limited number of markets via the web and mobile versions of the chatbot. Meta plans to bring the model to the version of Meta AI embedded in WhatsApp within a few weeks.

The company is rolling out the chatbot upgrade alongside two new Facebook features called Facebook Verified and Seller.

The former tool enables users of the social network to verify their accounts by uploading a video selfie. Consumers who complete the process receive a checkmark badge that appears on their profiles. According to Meta, Facebook Verified is available at no charge to users who are over 18 and don’t breach its terms of service.

The other highlight of today’s Facebook update is Seller, a mobile app for users who sell items on Facebook Marketplace. It includes an AI tool that speeds up product listing creation. The feature generates marketing copy, displays pricing suggestions and organizes each newly created listing under the relevant category.

Like the new version of Meta AI, Facebook Verified and Seller will roll out gradually. Meta plans to pilot the features in a limited number of markets before making them available worldwide.
