- Ant is developing a new AI product called Muse, focusing primarily on idea generation and content creation.
- The move follows the company's recent open-sourcing of its trillion-parameter flagship AI model and a massive global recruitment drive for top AI talent.
Ant Group is developing a new artificial intelligence product named Muse, an inspiration-driven AI tool designed to help users easily turn their creative ideas into reality.
The product is currently in the development phase, and specific details regarding its final form and related information await an official announcement, according to a report by local media outlet Dujia on Wednesday.
Muse will be highly positioned toward idea generation, content creation, and bringing inspiration to life, providing users with a brand-new creative experience, the report said.
This is in line with Lingguang, the omni-modal AI assistant launched by Ant Group last year, which supports features such as text-to-image generation and 3D visualization to quickly turn ideas into practical content.
If officially launched, Muse is expected to further enrich Ant Group's AI product ecosystem and create synergies with its recently released technological infrastructure.
Just on April 30, Ant Group open-sourced its trillion-parameter comprehensive flagship large model, Ling-2.6-1T, which focuses on optimizing complex task processing capabilities and computing costs.
To support these ambitious AI projects, Ant Group has begun aggressively recruiting top tech talent globally to maintain its competitive edge in the industry.
In its spring 2026 campus recruitment launched in March, technical roles accounted for 85% of the openings, with over 70% of the positions directly related to the AI field.
Ant Group's moves are a microcosm of the fierce competition among Chinese tech giants in the AI sector, as companies scramble to roll out innovative products and snatch up specialized talent.
In January and February of this year, AI-related job vacancies in China surged about 12-fold year-on-year, with companies including Baidu and ByteDance launching massive hiring campaigns.
