SynopsisMeta Platforms has launched Muse Code, an AI tool for developers. This new coding assistant uses the Muse Spark 1.2 AI model. It helps developers write and debug software efficiently and quickly. The tool operates on a pay-as-you-go model for users. This launch signifies Meta's growing presence in AI-powered developer tools.ReutersMeta Platforms on Wednesday launched Muse Code, a coding tool powered by its latest AI model, Muse Spark 1.2, designed to help developers write and debug software.The launch highlights the social media giant's push ‌into ⁠AI-powered coding ⁠tools, where it competes with Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex amid a broader race to monetise AI assistants.Muse ​Code can write code and verify results, and has been trained to handle long, complex ​coding projects while also running ⁠multiple sub-agents ‌simultaneously to speed up difficult tasks, ​the ​company said.Meta also said it trained ⁠Muse Spark 1.2 and Muse Code together ​to operate smoothly as a pair.Launched ​in beta, Muse Code keeps a log of its actions, so it can pick up where it left off after a crash rather than start over, the company said.Developers ‌can access Muse Code through a pay-as-you-go plan, with the standard tier priced ​at $1.25 per ​million input ⁠tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens.The launch comes nearly a month after Meta introduced Muse Spark 1.1 for developer testing, with the earlier model used to generate and evaluate difficult coding challenges that helped improve Muse Spark 1.2's ability to follow complex instructions. ...moreElevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.Subscribe Now
