Meta

The lab

Meta is a US technology company that builds the Muse models. Meta now publishes a long Superintelligence Scaling Framework, used many outside testers for Muse Spark, and publicly explained a third-party testing incident. But its 2026 rewrite replaced the Critical-level 'Stop' with 'Develop with Mitigations', and its whistleblower record is weighed down by enforcing a non-disparagement agreement against a former director.

Its own safety policy

• Superintelligence Scaling Framework Version 2.1, updated Oct 2, 2026

  The October 2026 revision of the framework previously titled the Frontier AI Framework sets Critical, High and Moderate risk levels across cybersecurity, chemical and biological, and loss of control outcomes. High risk models deploy only with mitigations that bring risk to moderate, and development past Critical continues only when catastrophic risks are judged acceptable.
