Claim 10: “Last month, Meta relaunched its AI efforts with Muse Spark, replacing its Llama models”
DISPUTED
While two cross-references from Flipboard claim Meta replaced Llama with 'Muse Spark', Wikipedia confirms that Llama is Meta's family of LLMs released starting in 2023 and does not mention 'Muse Spark' as a replacement. The cross-references are identical, suggesting a single source of information that contradicts the authoritative reference.
