Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.

Meta releases Muse Code, a terminal coding agent, and Muse Spark 1.2 model with improved code generation.

Muse Code (beta) is a terminal coding agent for macOS/Linux powered by Muse Spark 1.2. It uses async background agents, a local event log for crash recovery, and bundled skills like /plan, /grill, and /goal. Muse Spark 1.2 improves on 1.1 in code generation, debugging, and long-horizon tasks via co-training with Muse Code and self-improvement. A case study shows kernel optimization over 1,000+ tool calls. Muse Spark 1.2 is available in Muse Code and Meta Model API with expanded global access.

What commenters are saying

Commenters are skeptical of Meta's quick iteration from Spark 1.1 to 1.2, suggesting a do-over after Kimi K3 overshadowed the first launch. Many criticize the need to log in via Facebook/IG and data training policies. Some note competitive contributor pricing at $0.10/$0.20 per token. Others question benchmarks for comparing against OpenAI's mid-tier Terra instead of Sol, and point out the model loses against Opus. A few ask for open weights and express distrust of Meta with coding agents.
