Is Meta's Muse Wonder Better Than Claude? (Explained)

Meta just released Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full and says they beat Claude and ChatGPT. Meta's own chart still has Claude on top. I read the model card, every chart and watched all six official demos: what Muse Wonder can actually do, where it beats Claude, where it doesn't, which version you actually get, and the $5 way to try it today. Comment WONDER and I'll send you the free Muse Wonder Field Guide. ▶️ Tip: watch at 1.25× or 1.5× for the best experience.
