op7418 · x · 2026-08-06
Meta has released a new model, Muse Spark 1.2, alongside the Muse Code programming agent. Their pricing strategy is highly aggressive: users who consent to Meta using their data for model training can receive roughly a 12x discount, bringing the cost down to a level comparable with DeepSeek.
However, accessibility is restricted, with some users reporting an inability to even load the website. Amidst rumors of DeepSeek raising its prices, Meta's move is seen as the start of a new price war in the AI industry.
