The company that made open weights mainstream now competes on discounts

Meta released Muse Spark 1.2 along with its own coding agent, Muse Code, which is designed to pick up exactly where it left off after a crash. The cheapest tier runs just 20 cents per million output tokens but requires users to share their data for training. Meta is competing on price, not top-end performance. And there's a glaring gap in the benchmarks. The article The company that made open weights mainstream now competes on discounts appeared first on The Decoder .
