Meta Launches Muse Spark 1.1 API at Low Price, Intensifying AI Price War
The Decoder · rss · 2026-07-10
Meta has officially entered the AI API market with the launch of the Muse Spark 1.1 model. Priced at $4.25 per million output tokens, it is significantly cheaper than the newly released Grok 4.5 and only a fraction of the prices charged by OpenAI and Anthropic. This move further intensifies the price war in the AI model API space, increasing financial pressure on pure-play AI labs.
