The big story Model release
Meta releases Muse Wonder, its first frontier model, at $4/$20 per million tokens
Meta's Superintelligence Lab released Muse Wonder on the Meta Model API and in Muse Code; a larger Wonder Full is for Muse Code subscribers only. Meta's own testing puts both level with Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra, per TechCrunch.
Why it matters: Fourteen months after rebuilding its AI stack from scratch, Meta is pricing against OpenAI and Anthropic at the top end rather than undercutting them from below.
