Muse Spark 1.1 lands at 1495 on Text Arena with standout agentic-coding price performance
ycombinator · x · 2026-07-22
A Reddit analysis argues that Muse Spark 1.1 may be the most underrated frontier model right now. On Text Arena it sits at 1495 ±8, with fewer votes and thus higher uncertainty, but the author says its real draw is the combination of strong agentic coding results and extremely low pricing: $1.25 / $4.25 for 1M input/output tokens. The post also notes that Arena places it on the cost-performance Pareto frontier, while LiveBench shows it competitive in agentic coding, though not necessarily the best overall model.
