On October 29, 2026, Meta announced support for scientific research at five U.S. universities: Caltech, the Ohio State University College of Medicine, Louisiana State University, Indiana University, and UTHealth Houston. Meta said it will provide $2 million in funding and access to its latest models to support research using its models to advance medicine, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and mathematics. Specific projects include using the open-weight SAM model to monitor infant tracheostomy tube displacement, using multimodal AI to help dementia patients communicate, and combining abdominal CT, medical records, and ECG data to identify HFpEF heart failure risk early. In a separate Meta release the same day, the company said it is opening Muse Wonder, Muse Spark, Muse Glimmer, Muse Spark Open, SAM, V-JEPA, DINO, and the multilingual model SeamlessM4T to researchers; these universities will use the models for areas including mathematics and physics research, X-ray screening and heart failure detection, infant tracheostomy monitoring, maternal and newborn care, and brain cancer treatment.
