Meta launches Muse Ember, its lowest-cost reasoning AI model yet
Meta has released Muse Ember, a lightweight reasoning model priced at $0.10 per million input tokens, taking direct aim at rival offerings from Anthropic and OpenAI.

Meta has introduced Muse Ember, which the company describes as its smallest, lightest, and most cost-efficient AI model yet. Built to handle complex reasoning and agent workloads, the model is available through the Meta Model API at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens. That makes its input pricing approximately 12 times cheaper than Muse Spark 1.3 and roughly 40 times cheaper than Muse Wonder.[1][2][6][7][8][9][10]
Trained using Muse Wonder Full, the multimodal model supports text, images, audio, and video. Muse Ember is designed to execute repetitive agent tasks such as document and image processing, coding, and computer use. According to benchmark figures, Muse Ember scored 36 on the Artificial Analysis Index, matching Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 and outperforming OpenAI's GPT-6 Luna, which scored 28. It also logged scores of 37.8 on AutomationBench-AA, 61.6 on Agents' Last Exam, and 46 on the Coding Agent Index.[3][4][5][7][9][11]
The release comes as Meta targets businesses looking to scale artificial intelligence deployments. According to The Information, Meta is currently building an enterprise sales team to market its models to corporate clients, collaborating with consulting firms including Accenture and Deloitte.[5][6]

$META JUST LAUNCHED MUSE EMBER, ITS SMALLEST AI MODEL Meta says Muse Ember is its smallest and most efficient model, built for complex reasoning. It's available today on Meta's Model API for $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens. Tokens are the small chunks of text an AI model reads and writes. That's about 12x cheaper on input than Muse Spark 1.3, which lists at $1.25, and 40x cheaper than Muse Wonder, Meta's priciest model at $4. It comes as Meta builds a sales team to sell its AI to businesses, working with consulting firms like Accenture and Deloitte, according to The Information.

$META just launched Muse Ember which is its smallest AI model priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens making input 40x cheaper than Muse Wonder. And that’s what makes the AI price war so interesting because as intelligence gets cheaper then number of things worth automating grows and every one of those new workloads still needs compute.

First release of the day: Meta’s new Muse Ember beats Claude Haiku 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna on key agent and coding benchmarks. It matches Haiku's overall intelligence score at roughly one-third the cost per task. All three start at $0.10/$0.50 per million input/output tokens. Ember is Meta’s first model trained using Muse Wonder Full and supports text, images, audio and video. Great launch and release! Meta is super back!
