Muse Wonder hands-on: strong at long SWE runs, weak elsewhere
EXM7777 · x · 2026-10-13
A developer shares an honest day-long review of the Muse Wonder model:
- It thinks and approaches problems very differently from Opus or Sol, with a distinctive conversational vibe — "clearly not distilled from Claude," the author jokes.
- It excels at long runs, handling basically any SWE work well.
- Outside coding, though, it's unbalanced: writing is meh and other domains lag noticeably.
