- After trying many options, a former Parse cofounder (company acquired by Facebook) says his favorite non-frontier coding setup is Opencode + Muse, recommending muse spark 1.3.
- His take: the Muse model is slightly less intelligent than others, but talks normally instead of inventing its own language, is less likely to do ten unrequested things, and is cheap. Alexandr Wang amplified the take, vouching for the team's engineering credentials.
