- Artificial Analysis: Muse Spark 1.3 (xhigh) is the most cost-efficient model at its intelligence level — $0.55 per Intelligence Index task at Meta's unchanged $1.25/$4.25 per 1M token pricing
- Nearest rivals scoring 59+: Gemini 3.8 Flash (high, 59, $0.58), GPT-5.6 Sol (xhigh, 59, $0.63), GLM-5.3 (max, 60, $0.68); peers at 61 cost far more (Grok 4.6 $0.94, GPT-5.6 Sol max $0.95, Claude Opus 5 high $1.23)
- xeophon quips that Gemini 3.8 only held a Pareto frontier spot for 3.5 hours; Muse Spark 1.3 (max) excluded due to unannounced pricing
