Meta

Muse Spark 1.3

Meta's fast flagship in this snapshot. Strong, not the leader, and one of the quickest models that still sits in the mid-40s.

Weights
Closed

Standard tier as reported on 3 Sep 2026. A cheaper contributor tier was also reported ($0.10 / $0.20) and is not the price used here. Re-check Meta before a large deployment. The release day is not more precise than September 2026 in the sources used here. It was already on the index by 7 Sep.

Modalities and the token price are from a 3 Sep 2026 write-up of Meta's pricing page, not re-read from Meta on 1 Oct.

Use it when

Multimodal product work where speed matters. Max effort is 48 on the index at about 181 tokens per second. Extra-high is 45 and a bit cheaper per task.

Leave it when

Assuming the weights are open. Muse Spark is treated as a closed API model here. Llama-style open checkpoints are a different card, and they are not this score.
