Meta debuts first AI coding agent to take on Anthropic and OpenAI
The beta tool can plan changes, write code and validate results as Meta expands paid API access for developers.
- On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, Meta released Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent available in beta for developers. The tool enables complete software engineering tasks including planning changes, writing code, and validating results.
- Meta is rolling out the agent to challenge Anthropic and OpenAI in the competitive coding-agent market. Alexandr Wang, Meta's chief AI officer, leads the initiative through Meta Superintelligence Labs.
- Powered by Muse Spark 1.2, the tool features API pricing of $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens. Wang added that a "contributor tier" is "more than 10 times cheaper than" the standard pay-as-you-go option.
- Unlike Claude Code and Codex, Muse Code currently lacks a dedicated app interface, operating solely through the terminal. Its local event log records model calls and edits, enabling users to resume work after system crashes.
