“Meta opens early access program for new Muse features”
VerifiedConfidence: HIGH

Reasoning

Meta's official news release and blog post announce the early‑access program for Muse, and independent outlets (The Verge, TechCrunch) report the same. The contradictory Snopes claim is a lone secondary source and appears less reliable given the direct statements from Meta.

On confidence: Multiple primary and independent sources confirm the announcement, outweighing a single contradictory secondary source.

Important context

The program is intended for developers and partners to test new generative‑AI features before public rollout, with details on eligibility and timeline provided by Meta.
