Aakash Gupta publishes a full guide to Meta Muse, calling it the biggest consumer AI launch since ChatGPT: Muse hit 5 million downloads in 22 days (ChatGPT took 56), and its daily US downloads now exceed Threads, WhatsApp and Facebook.
The guide also covers this week's top news: Anthropic shipped Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest model ever at $0.10/M input and $0.50/M output tokens (vs $1/$5 for Haiku 4.5) — a 10x price cut with stronger performance, 75% cheaper on real work per Anthropic, scoring 72.4% on OSWorld. The author's own bill dropped 80% after switching.
