Summary
Muse Code launched in beta as Meta’s first coding agent, letting developers install it with one command to plan changes, write code and validate software tasks inside a single interface.
Muse Spark 1.2 powers the tool and was trained alongside Muse Code, which AI chief Alexandr Wang said improves coding performance over July’s Muse Spark 1.1 release.
Pricing starts at $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens, while a contributor tier is priced at more than 10 times cheaper for users who opt in to help improve the model.
Meta is pitching the product on cost rather than top-end capability against Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex, while also beginning to accept requests for zero-data retention for enterprise customers.
