Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang announced Muse Ember, the company's smallest and most efficient model, built for repetitive agent workloads. It claims better intelligence-per-dollar than Haiku, Luna, and other flash models at any reasoning setting, at a third of the cost or less. An Artificial Analysis chart (Nov 9, 2026) shows Muse Ember hitting 33-36 intelligence index at $0.10-0.12 per task, versus $0.41 for Claude Haiku 5.5 max at similar intelligence.
