Meta Muse Ember model costs 10 cents for a million input tokens
Meta says Ember is cheaper and smarter than two other models, but the text gives no score.
Meta Superintelligence Lab released a new AI model called Muse Ember on Monday. It is the lightest and cheapest model of the lab. Ember costs 10 cents for a million input tokens, which are units of text. Meta built it for agent work that is done again and again, such as tool calls, routing and data extraction.
How it works
Meta made Ember to work with a larger model, Muse Wonder. Meta says: “Muse Wonder plans, Muse Ember handles the volume.” In an agent that answers customers, the large model sets the rules. Ember applies them to tens of thousands of requests.
The proof
Meta uses a combined score from Artificial Analysis to show Ember as cheaper and smarter than Haiku and Luna. The text gives no score. Ember also reads text, images and audio.
What is not known
The source does not say how Ember does on tasks that Meta did not select. All claims come from Meta.
Insight: Meta sells the cheap worker, not only the smart model
Ember is the fourth Muse model of 2026. In October 2026, Meta also released the open model Muse Spark Open, and it gives its Muse agent away free. Meta seems to compete on cost for each task: a large model plans and a cheap one does the volume. Test Ember on your own tasks
