**Summary**  
A CBS News 24/7 Prime Time news segment featuring an interview between a studio anchor and Bloomberg tech reporter Riley Griffin. They report on and analyze Meta's release of its frontier AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, and its consumer AI agent app Muse, comparing them to rival offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.

- [00:05] Graphic mockups showing the "Muse from Meta" app on an App Store interface and mobile devices.

**Claims & numbers**  
- Meta launched two new AI models: Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, designed for tasks including coding, memory, and AI agents (anchor).  
- Meta claims these models match or outperform rivals from OpenAI and Anthropic on benchmark tests (anchor).  
- Mark Zuckerberg dissolved his previous AI team roughly a year and a half ago, acqui-hiring 29-year-old Alexandr Wang from Scale AI in a deal worth more than $14 billion (Riley Griffin).  
- Meta claims Muse Wonder excels at coding, answering medical/health queries, financial modeling, and legal tasks (Riley Griffin).  
- The consumer Muse app offers free access for everyday tasks, with premium access to Muse Wonder priced at $20 or $100 per month (Riley Griffin).  
- OpenAI's competing agent "dots" requires a minimum subscription of $100 per month (Riley Griffin).  

**Notable quotes**  
- "Meta says its new models match or outperform some rival offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic on benchmark tests." — Anchor [00:15]  
- "This is the biggest and most capable model they've had yet as they edge ahead, trying to get to that frontier..." — Riley Griffin [00:56]  
- "When it comes to personal agents, OpenAI recently came out with its competitor to Muse, dots... The minimum cost is going to be $100 per month." — Riley Griffin [03:55]  

**Assessment**  
This is a television news report and expert commentary segment, not a direct product demonstration. The program shows marketing graphics and UI stills while discussing Meta's benchmark claims and pricing without independently validating model performance on-air.
