Meta's Muse Spark 1.2 lands on OpenRouter — from $0.10/M input

The model's been out since Aug 5; what's new is global access, a rock-bottom Contributor tier that trades cost for your data, and Meta's muse CLI.

  • One key away, 1M context

    Muse Spark 1.2 is now live on OpenRouter with expanded global access, so you can route to it — with automatic fallbacks — using the key you already have. Standard pricing is $1.25/M input and $4.25/M output ($0.15 cached), with a full 1M-token window and text, image, video, audio, and PDF input.

  • The $0.10 Contributor tier — and its catch

    A Contributor tier cuts input to $0.10/M ($0.002 cached) and output to $0.20/M, but Meta gets to train on your prompts and completions, and you're capped at 60 requests per minute versus 3,000 on standard. Ideal for experiments and learning; keep production and anything sensitive on the standard tier.

  • Tuned for agent loops

    The model does structured output, parallel function calling, and configurable reasoning effort, and Meta aims it at multi-file refactors, whole-repo generation, and long debugging runs. Vendor-run numbers: 82.9% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 59.3% on DeepSWE — self-reported, with no independent reproduction yet.

  • Drive it from the terminal with muse

    Muse Code, Meta's terminal agent (the `muse` binary, macOS and Linux, one-line install), defaults to Muse Spark 1.2 and adds background agents, worktree-isolated sub-agent fan-out, and crash-resume from an append-only event log. It's bring-your-own-key, so you can aim it at other models too.

  • Elsewhere: Anthropic's Python SDK v1.0 can break your build

    The new anthropic 1.0 needs Python 3.10+, swaps httpx for httpx2, and drops the legacy Text Completions API plus temperature/top_p/top_k on Messages; AnthropicBedrock now errors if no AWS region is set instead of defaulting to us-east-1. Pin your version before CI trips on it.

  • Elsewhere: Vercel starts billing deployment storage

    New Pro and Enterprise teams now pay $0.10/GB per month for deployment storage, with retention controls added to Deployment History. Deploy often? Prune old builds or watch the line item grow.
