Digging into Meta's new AI agent, 'Muse,' has revealed that its file structures and naming conventions are strikingly similar to those found in 'Open Cloud.' One developer indicated that Muse was heavily inspired by this open-source project, suggesting a potential lineage or influence from existing open-source AI development.
“There's a lot of it that is, like, open cloud part two. Yeah. People have dug into it and a lot of the file names are exactly the same. The structure of the files are effectively open cloud.”
“And one of the developers of Muse came on and said, we were heavily inspired by Peter Slagter? Yeah, like the file names we downloaded. Exactly. It seems like open source. That's where it goes.”
