Meta introduced a major update to its Muse Spark AI model, aiming to compete more directly with OpenAI and Anthropic in coding and agentic AI. The new Muse Spark 1.1 offers aggressively low pricing, expanded API access, and improved performance on coding-related tasks as Meta shifts toward selling proprietary AI models. The company is also developing more advanced systems, including a forthcoming model code‑named Watermelon.
