Developer Peter James found a model labeled azure/muse-special while the AI website builder Muse was generating his site, and dug deeper into Muse's filesystem for evidence.
- This is Part 2 of his investigation, after his first Muse analysis article hit the front page of Hacker News.
- The model label suggests Muse may actually be calling OpenAI (via Azure) and Claude models behind the scenes rather than being fully in-house.
- The finding sparked discussion about how "own-model" claims of AI products hold up under inspection.
