Meta undercuts rivals on AI coding model costs — by training on customer code
meta released muse spark 1.2 and a coding agent, offering a steep discount to $0.20 per million tokens if users grant data rights, intensifying the commoditization race.
meta released muse spark 1.2, an upgrade focused on code generation and long-horizon planning, alongside its first dedicated coding agent, muse code. the agent uses persistent sub-agents and a crash-recovery protocol to resume work exactly where it left off. pricing starts at $1.25 per million input tokens, but a new 'data-sharing' tier offers output tokens for just $0.20, significantly undercutting western competitors like anthropic and openai. internal benchmarks position spark 1.2 between its predecessor and top models like claude opus 5, though comparisons are complicated by proprietary agent environments.
