Meta Launches Muse Ember AI Model Priced From $0.10 Per Million Input Tokens

The headline number is the point: pricing a multimodal model from $0.10 per million input tokens puts Meta in direct competition for high-volume, repetitive agent workloads, where cost per call rather than raw capability tends to decide adoption. The tiering—Muse Ember for repeated tasks, larger Muse models for planning—suggests Meta is selling a pipeline rather than a single model, which matters most for developers building agent stacks on the Meta Model API and Muse Code. The open question is how the lightweight tier performs on real agent loops once teams move beyond trials; without a launch date, the timing of broader availability is the other thing to watch.
