The Decoder · rss · 2026-08-06
Meta has released Muse Spark 1.2 alongside Muse Code, a coding agent featuring crash recovery capabilities. Its pricing is highly aggressive, with the cheapest tier costing just $0.20 per million output tokens—provided users agree to share their data for training.
Analysis suggests Meta is shifting its strategy, opting to compete on price rather than top-tier performance. However, the new model still shows glaring gaps in benchmarks.
