Meta Ends Its Free AI Era, Launches First Paid Model
Muse Spark 1.1 debuts today via a new Meta Model API, a coding and agentic model with a million-token context.
- Zuckerberg calls it 'a strong agentic and coding model at a very low price.'
- The model debugs code, builds features, and migrates entire codebases autonomously.
- Replit's CEO Amjad Masad praised how much it packs into one model.
Why it mattersA company that gave models away for years now sells them, because free stopped buying market share.
