Meta takes on Anthropic and OpenAI with its first AI coding agent, Muse Code
Meta Platforms Inc. is getting more serious in its efforts to challenge leading artificial intelligence labs Anthropic PBC and OpenAI PBC with the release of its first AI coding agent, called Muse Code.
Announced in a blog post today, Muse Code is the brainchild of Meta’s AI chief Alexandr Wang, who heads up the company’s Superintelligence Labs unit and is tasked with leading its frontier model development. Wang joined Meta last year at a time when Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg realized the company’s AI efforts were falling behind those of its rivals.
Muse Code, available in beta now, is able to perform “complete software engineering tasks across large repos,” Zuckerberg said in a post on X.
