Meta launches Muse Code AI agent to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic
Meta has launched Muse Code, an AI coding agent currently in beta, designed to compete directly with OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code. Operating within a developer's terminal, the agent is powered by the Muse Spark 2.1 model and is capable of autonomous software engineering tasks, including planning projects, writing code, debugging, auditing existing codebases, and delegating subtasks to specialized sub-agents.
Meta is employing an aggressive pricing strategy to capture market share. The standard pay-as-you-go rates are approximately $1.15 per million input tokens and $3.92 per million output tokens. Additionally, a
