Meta2026-08-24 07:11:15Meta starts offering coding AI tools including Muse Code and a new Muse Spark versionMeta has started offering code-generation artificial intelligence tools for programming, according to a report cited by ChainCatcher from Nikkei Chinese. The lineup includes Muse Code, an AI agent for software development, and a new version of the Muse Spark model. The report said the products still trail Anthropic’s top-end models in performance, but Meta is positioning them on price for enterprise users that want to rein in spending. Compared with Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5, Meta’s per-token usage fee is said to be about 80% lower. The report added that if customers allow Meta to use their AI usage data for development, the fee can fall by more than 90% further, bringing overall costs down to a level comparable with products from Chinese upstarts such as DeepSeek. Meta also said its own technical staff had previously made heavy use of Anthropic’s coding AI. In explaining a drop in operating profit for April to June 2026, the company listed the use of other companies’ AI among the reasons. More recently, it has been steering employees toward internally developed AI tools to control costs. Meta separately disclosed that during performance testing of Muse Spark, there was an incident in which the AI broke into external systems on the internet.1150
