Meta: Muse Image

meta/muse-image

BenchmarksCompare

Muse Image is an agentic image generation model from Meta that generates and edits images from text and reference images. Unlike single-pass image models, it reasons before it renders, breaking down multi-part prompts and refining its output within the chain of thought, and invokes web search for factual accuracy on knowledge-intensive prompts.

The model supports text-to-image generation, targeted image editing, multi-image composition, reference-image conditioning for style and subject consistency across a series, and precise text rendering within generated images. Iterative editing works by passing the previous output image back with a new instruction.

Example outputs summary for Meta: Muse Image

  • Text to Image: Editorial architectural photograph of a contemporary neighborhood storefront at blue hour, glowing warmly against the dusk. Above the entrance, a warm-white neon sign in flowing hand-bent cursive reads exactly "OpenRouter", the only text in the scene. Large windows reveal a cozy, lived-in interior: wood shelves styled with books and ceramics, lush trailing plants, and soft pendant lighting. Potted plants and a bicycle rest by the entrance, and golden light spills across the wet pavement in gentle reflections. Straight-on composition, realistic materials, quiet street with no people. — generated with Meta: Muse Image
  • Text to Image 2: Editorial architectural photograph of a contemporary neighborhood storefront at blue hour, glowing warmly against the dusk. Above the entrance, a warm-white neon sign in flowing hand-bent cursive reads exactly "OpenRouter", the only text in the scene. Large windows reveal a cozy, lived-in interior: wood shelves styled with books and ceramics, lush trailing plants, and soft pendant lighting. Potted plants and a bicycle rest by the entrance, and golden light spills across the wet pavement in gentle reflections.

Benchmark outputs summary for Meta: Muse Image

  • Full wine glass: A wine glass filled to the brim with white wine, the surface level with the rim of the glass, standing upright on a plain wooden table. Straight-on eye-level shot, glass upright and not tilted, no other objects in the frame. (Tied 10th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Closed umbrellas: Wide street-level photograph of about twelve people crossing a city street in heavy rain. Every person is carrying a closed, furled umbrella held down at their side. Not a single umbrella is open. Each umbrella is clearly visible. They are all getting soaked. No other people in the frame. (Tied 17th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Three fingers: Close straight-on photograph of an open right hand raised palm towards the camera, with exactly three fingers extended straight up and the other two folded down into the palm. Plain background, nothing else in the frame. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Cards & dice: Exactly four playing cards face up in a single straight row on a polished marble counter, evenly spaced, all the same size, showing the seven of hearts, the eight of spades, the nine of diamonds and the ten of clubs from left to right. No other objects in the frame. Straight-on eye-level shot, soft even light. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Long exact string: A white A4 poster on a brick wall reading exactly "SPRING CLEARANCE - EVERYTHING 40% OFF - SATURDAY 14 JUNE, 9AM TO 6PM". No other text in the frame. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Multiple languages: Straight-on photograph of a white overhead directional sign in an international airport terminal, with a black arrow pointing right at the left end. The sign carries the same word in four scripts on four stacked lines, in this order from top to bottom: "DEPARTURES", then the Japanese 出発, then the Korean 출발, then the Arabic المغادرة. Clean sans-serif lettering, sharp focus, no other text anywhere in the frame. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Occlusion: Straight-on eye-level photograph of a plain wooden desk. On the left, a closed hardcover book with a dark red cover stands upright, its front cover facing the camera. A blue ceramic mug stands on the desk to the right of the book and clearly further back, about 20 cm behind it, positioned so that the right edge of the book overlaps and hides the left third of the mug. The mug's handle points to the right and the whole rim of the mug is visible. Bare desk surface is visible between the book and the mug. Nothing else on the desk. Plain wall behind, soft even light. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Mirror: Straight-on eye-level photograph of a bathroom vanity. A large rectangular mirror covers the wall behind the counter and its bottom edge meets the countertop, so both the objects and their reflections are visible. On the counter, a tall red toothbrush cup on the left and a tall green glass bottle on the right, both roughly 20 cm tall and well apart from each other. The mirror reflects the counter and the objects on it accurately. Nothing else in the frame. (Tied 2nd of 60 on this prompt)
  • Plain zebra: Photograph of a zebra standing side-on in short grass. Its coat is a uniform solid grey with no stripes, no bands and no markings of any kind anywhere on its body. The whole animal is visible. Sharp focus. (Tied 19th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Times Square: Wide street-level photograph of Times Square in New York at night, wet asphalt reflecting the lights. Every billboard, screen, storefront window, awning, taxi door and road marking is completely blank — lit with plain colour fields and soft gradients only. No letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no lettering of any kind anywhere in the frame. Sharp focus, straight-on shot. (Tied 11th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Minimal diff: From the reference photo, change only the sign text to "ROUTE 7 ESPRESSO - OPEN TILL 8". Keep the sign, wall, lighting and framing identical. (Tied 5th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Object removal: Remove only the second cup from the left in the reference photo. Leave the other four cups exactly as they are, in the same positions, and leave the shelf, towel, wall, plant and lighting untouched. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Person removal: In the reference photo, remove only the person in the yellow coat. Their shadow on the pavement and their reflection in the shop window must be removed as well. Reconstruct the pavement and the window glass behind them. The person in the red coat and the person in the green coat must stay completely unchanged, including their own shadows and their own reflections. Change nothing else in the frame. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Product placement: Product photograph of the ceramic mug from the reference image, standing upright on a café table. Show the same side of the mug, from the same side-on eye-level angle as the reference, with the handle on the right. The shape, proportions, colours, moulded relief and every painted detail must match the reference exactly. Only the setting and lighting change: soft daylight in a café interior, shallow depth of field. (Tied 1st of 60 on this prompt)
  • Four references: Place the person from the portrait reference at the desk in the scene reference, wearing the rust orange canvas jacket from its reference and holding the navy blue travel mug from its reference in one hand. Keep the face, the jacket and the mug exactly as they appear in the references — same colours, same details, same proportions. Do not change the room. (Tied 18th of 60 on this prompt)
  • Portraits: Studio headshot of a woman in a charcoal blazer against a mid-grey seamless backdrop, lit by a large softbox slightly above and to the left with a soft fill from the right, catchlights in both eyes. An 85mm look with shallow depth of field, skin texture and flyaway hairs kept rather than smoothed.
  • People in scenes: Photograph of four cooks working the pass in a restaurant kitchen at service, plating three dishes at once, several hands in frame and some of them overlapping. One cook partly hidden behind another, steam rising into hard overhead light, each face clearly a different person.
  • Animals: Photograph of a tabby cat asleep on a sunlit windowsill, fur lit from behind so the individual hairs glow at the edges, one ear turned toward the camera. Shallow depth of field, a houseplant soft in the background, quiet morning light.
  • Landscape and nature: Photograph of an old-growth temperate rainforest after rain, moss on every trunk and fallen log, ferns dense across the floor, thin fog between the far trees. Overcast light with no direct sun, everything from the nearest fern to the last trunk in focus.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Muse Wonder

Muse Wonder is a frontier reasoning model from Meta, designed for complex personal and professional agentic tasks. It accepts text, images, video, audio, and PDF documents and returns text, with a 1M-token context window.

The model handles long-horizon work: it plans, delegates to sub-agents, calls tools in parallel, and recovers from errors, so multi-step tasks run to completion without step-by-step direction. It can also operate browsers and desktop and mobile applications, and works across many files in existing repositories to make and verify changes. Muse Wonder carries important context across conversations and retrieves the details relevant to the task at hand. And it's trained for Active Focus, so it works toward your goal even when a task gets challenging.

In Meta's testing, it performs well on complex engineering tasks, extended agentic sessions, and multi-file refactors to tackle developers' most demanding work.
