Meta has introduced its first AI coding agent, Muse Code, to compete with top industry offerings from Anthropic and OpenAI.

Summary

Meta has launched Muse Code, its first AI coding agent, marking a major step by AI chief Alexandr Wang to challenge leading AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI. Available in a preview version alongside the Muse Spark 1.2 model, the tool helps developers handle complete software engineering tasks from planning to code validation. Meta is primarily using pricing as a differentiator, offering a significantly cheaper contributor tier for developers willing to share data to improve the underlying technology, while also introducing enterprise-friendly options like zero-data retention.
