   Meta's Muse AI Assistant Surpasses 5 Million Downloads

   Meta Platforms has crossed five million downloads for its new Muse artificial intelligence assistant, outpacing the early growth rates of industry rivals such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok. The free AI agent achieved the milestone amid a massive advertising push and sits at the top of the App Store in the United States and Canada. According to data from Sensor Tower and reports from The Information, the assistant has also accumulated over 3 million weekly users and 1 million daily users.

   Why it matters

   The rapid adoption of Muse has fueled momentum for Meta stock, helping it enjoy its best month since 2022 and forging a new buy point for investors. The surge places increased competitive pressure on major tech companies like Google, which still keeps rival AI models locked behind paywalls, and wireless carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Meanwhile, Alphabet's Google faces internal employee skepticism over its upcoming Gemini 4 model, particularly regarding coding capabilities.
