# Meta rolls Active Memory and Active Focus into Muse and Meta AI

> Meta is rolling Active Memory and Active Focus into Muse and Meta AI, citing fewer forgotten goals and better recovery when plans change.

Meta is rolling specialized versions of its existing models into Muse and Meta AI. They were trained using Muse Wonder, and they include Active Memory and Active Focus. This is not a new model family.

On November 6, 2026, AI at Meta said specialized models trained using Muse Wonder were coming to Muse and Meta AI, giving users some of Wonder's frontier capabilities for complex work and everyday tasks. Meta AI Research's write-up says those are specialized versions of existing models, rolling out to people who use Muse and Meta AI. The post says Muse Wonder, including Active Memory and Active Focus, arrived a few weeks earlier. This is the wider handoff into the apps.

Active Memory is meant to remember what still matters and to notice when something said earlier becomes relevant again. Meta says the models were trained to separate temporary information from permanent information, reason across time, and tell what is still relevant from what has gone stale. On Meta's internal Active Memory evaluation, the current Muse model used critical context correctly on 90% of tasks, versus 76% for the previous Muse model. Meta also reports a 2.4x reduction, in Muse, in forgetting information it calls critical to a user's goals. The post does not describe an outside benchmark.

On Meta's Personal Superintelligence Index, in the same post, the current Muse model scored 47% and the previous model 38%. Meta does not explain how that index is scored.

Active Focus is the other behavior: keep working toward a goal when something unexpected blocks the way. Meta says the models were trained on bottlenecks meant to reflect the real world, so they can try harder, recover, or find an alternative. In Muse, Meta reports a 67% improvement in completing everyday tasks when unexpected issues arise. It does not give the baseline completion rate, so that figure is not an absolute success rate. Those Muse percentages are not stated for Meta AI.

Meta also says the Muse models should know when to push a goal on their own and when to collaborate live, and should take a steer mid-task without getting confused. In Meta AI, the company says the same changes help break a problem into steps, ask sharper follow-ups, and adapt if the user changes direction mid-conversation.

Meta did not name the specialized models, and it did not say when every account gets them.

If you run long tasks in either app, check whether a constraint you stated earlier still holds and whether the assistant recovers when a step fails. Read Meta's write-up for the claims in the company's words, and treat every score as Meta's internal result.
