Report: Meta’s Muse crosses 5 million downloads amid massive advertising push

What the coverage shows

All six outlets frame the story as OpenAI’s Dots entering the personal-agent race against Meta’s Muse, with Axios, CNBC, the New York Times and The Verge all stressing the rivalry directly. Axios and The Verge foreground OpenAI’s competitive positioning, while CNBC adds a question about whether users will pay. The New York Times is the only one to mention scrutiny over OpenAI’s technology, and the Forbes and 9to5Mac items are actually about Muse’s download growth rather than Dots itself.
