Meta Enters Pay-to-Use AI Market with Muse Spark 1.1
Meta says early partners can already use the model, with new API accounts getting $20 in free credits and usage billed by tokens.
- On Thursday, Meta Platforms released the Muse Spark 1.1 API, granting developers access to its latest model designed for complex coding and autonomous agentic tasks.
- Shifting from its open-source Llama strategy, the company now focuses on selling proprietary model access to compete directly with OpenAI and Anthropic in the high-stakes AI market.
- Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang described the pricing as "very aggressive and attractive," offering $20 in free credits while charging $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens.
- Early partners currently have access to the API, and new users can join a waitlist through the developer portal to receive access over time.
- Meta is also developing a cloud business to sell computing capacity while training a more powerful model code-named Watermelon to support its $125 billion annual capital expenditure program.
