Meta's agent Muse hits 700,000 daily active users in ten days, with service degradation already occurring due to insufficient compute
The daily active user count of Meta's AI agent Muse grew 10x over the past 11 days, reaching about 700,000, but load issues have already emerged, with the status monitoring platform SaaSHub listing its status as service degraded. A researcher stress-tested Muse by asking it to generate 120 sub-agents at once, and only 33 were successfully created. Meta Chief AI Officer Alexander Wang revealed on September 9 that Muse's early usage far exceeded internal expectations, at roughly 10x the level during internal testing, prompting Meta to reset token usage and add limits. The bottleneck may stem from its compute-intensive architecture; Meta promises each user a dedicated virtual machine equipped with 2 virtual CPUs, 8GB of memory and a 100GB SSD. Currently Muse is only launched in the United States and Canada, and registration is not yet open to WhatsApp and Instagram users.
