Meta launches Muse Spark 1.1 with paid developer API
Meta has launched Muse Spark 1.1, a new AI model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, introducing its first paid API for developers for one of its proprietary models.
What happened?
On 9 July, Meta launched Muse Spark 1.1, described as the second model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. In conjunction with the launch, Meta has for the first time opened a paid Application Programming Interface (API) for one of its proprietary AI models, allowing external developers to integrate and use the model within their applications.

”Meta released Muse Spark 1.1 on July 9, its second model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, and for the first time ever opened a paid developer API for one of its own models.”
Why it matters
This marks Meta's entry into the paid AI model market, positioning Muse Spark 1.1 as a competitor to existing models from players such as Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (GPT). Pricing is specified to be approximately one-quarter that of comparable models.
Who is affected?
Developers and companies working with AI applications are directly affected, as they gain access to a new commercial agent-based AI model. Users of the Meta AI app can test the model free of charge. Broader impacts include competition in the AI model market, which could lead to new innovations and applications.
What else you should know
Independent tests suggest that Muse Spark 1.1 performs well in agentic tool-use tasks, though it lags behind in pure code generation. Meta's own benchmark data is not public or audited regarding these claims.
