Meta Bets on Coding AI with Muse Code to Rival OpenAI and Anthropic

Meta launches Muse Code, its first coding agent, to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic. The preview tool works with Muse Spark 1.2, uses a pay‑as‑you‑go pricing model similar to Muse Spark, and includes a cheaper contributor tier for users who opt in to improve the model. Developers can access Muse Code from Meta’s developer page (and OpenRouter), and the tool features a harness for managing coding projects and a zero‑data‑retention enterprise option, reflecting Meta’s strategy to monetize AI alongside its data‑center investments.

Meta’s Bold AI Bet Hits a Reality Check as Shares Slide

Meta’s enormous AI push — including capex rising to at least $130B — has yet to yield a breakthrough product or profits, sending shares down about 11% as Muse Spark stalls and Muse Image underperforms against OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google; critics warn the company is spending ahead of demand, echoing past metaverse missteps and leaving investors skeptical about Meta’s AI-driven future.

Meta bets big on consumer personal AI agents

Meta is gearing up to roll out consumer-friendly personal AI agents that can work 24/7, aiming to become the next major revenue driver. Zuckerberg outlined a consumer-first vision to have agents handle tasks across life areas and compete with Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, while Meta expands business agents on WhatsApp and Messenger, grows Instagram to 2 billion daily users, and backs the effort with large AI staffing, a $130–$145 billion 2026 capex plan, and a 1 gigawatt data center with BlackRock, all amid trust and ecosystem challenges.

Bright Futures, Bleak Questions: Anthropic vs Meta in AI Ad War

Anthropic and Meta rolled out contrasting AI ads tackling AI anxiety in opposite tones: Anthropic leans into bleak imagery—fires, cemeteries, homelessness—and questions of trust and job loss, while Meta leans positive with rainbows, butterflies, celebrities, and a clear product reveal of Muse Spark 1.1—highlighting two branding approaches in the AI ad landscape.

Meta’s AI push aims to convert big spending into growth

Meta Platforms jumped after outlining an AI-driven plan to monetize its heavy capital expenditure: it will start manufacturing its Iris AI chip with Broadcom and TSMC to cut GPU costs, is building a CAD 13 billion data center in Canada to rent out excess compute as an AI Cloud, and has Muse Spark priced well below rivals to attract developers—all designed to boost future revenue from ads, cloud, and AI tools, though execution risk remains as chip production, data-center utilization, and developer adoption unfold.

Meta’s AI push hinges on cheaper, faster infrastructure, not just a new model

Yahoo Finance notes Meta’s stock rally is powered by a quiet but transformative shift in its infrastructure economics: Reuters revealed an internal memo showing Meta plans about 14 gigawatts of compute capacity for 2026–27, with actual costs per gigawatt around $22 billion (far below many analysts’ estimates). This suggests Meta can expand AI capacity more cheaply than feared, supported by plans to manufacture in‑house Iris chips starting in fall 2026 and a cadence of new chips every six months through 2027, pointing to a highly efficient, vertically integrated AI factory and potentially strong ROI on its big capex beyond the Muse Spark model buzz.

Meta bets big on frontier AI lead, aiming six‑month leap past Google, SemiAnalysis says

SemiAnalysis claims Meta’s “Superintelligence” push could outrun Google in frontier AI within six months, driven by an in‑house data pipeline built by 3,000 engineers in a massive RL environment factory, five gigawatt‑scale datacenters, and a dedicated AI‑Backbone network. Meta has begun releasing Muse Spark 1.1 to developers, plans to produce its Iris AI chip, and is pouring up to $145 billion into AI infrastructure with targets of 7 GW in 2026 and 14 GW in 2027, all while aggressively recruiting talent from peers. The firm argues Meta’s access to proprietary data, massive compute, and a deep internal supply chain could give it a decisive edge, even as initial Muse Spark benchmarks lag behind peers; market reaction showed Meta rising about 4% while Google’s parent stock eased.

Meta dives into AI coding race with Muse Spark 1.1 and aggressive pricing

Meta rolled out Muse Spark 1.1, its best-performing model for agentic and coding tasks, with a public developer API after a private preview and pricing designed to attract high usage: $20 in free credits, then $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens. The move aims to competing with OpenAI and Anthropic, with initial API access limited to Meta properties while scaling, and Meta says a Muse Spark variant will remain open source even as it develops a more powerful model codenamed Watermelon; Muse Spark’s development follows Muse Image and signals a broader shift from open-source Llama toward paid access to proprietary AI models.

Meta's Watermelon AI Catches GPT-5.5, Wang Says

At an internal town hall, Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang said Watermelon—the successor to Muse Spark’s Avocado—is in training and has caught up with OpenAI's GPT-5.5 on benchmarks, with Watermelon using an order-of-magnitude more compute than Avocado. Meta also signaled a Muse Spark update to boost coding and agentic capabilities to close the gap with rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic, as the company continues heavy investment in chips, data centers, and talent despite ongoing adoption challenges.

Meta Eyes AI Cloud Infra as New Revenue Engine

Meta Platforms is weighing a cloud infrastructure business to sell AI computing power and hosted AI models, potentially running on its own infrastructure and Muse Spark models, in a move that could put Meta in a lane with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and monetize its AI buildout. The plan, still in development, spurred a roughly 9% intraday jump in Meta stock as investors weigh the potential upside of turning its AI investments into a revenue stream.

Meta Fury AI Glasses: Best Yet, But Privacy Clouds the View

Meta’s Fury AI Glasses represent the best value in Meta’s AI eyewear at $299, packing a 12MP camera, 3K video, open-ear audio, long battery life, and the new Muse Spark AI for more capable computer vision; they ditch Ray-Ban branding to cut costs and improve comfort, while adding an adjustable fit and an action button. However, privacy concerns remain: data could be used for training and facial recognition is a rumored possibility, and public use is still a privacy minefield despite camera LEDs and app integrations. Overall, they’re arguably Meta’s best AI glasses yet, but the privacy issues temper the appeal.

Meta bets on affordable AI eyewear with in-house design

Meta unveiled a line of in-house AI glasses priced from $299 (undercutting Ray‑Ban’s $379 models), available in three styles—Adventurer, Fury, and Meta Glasses by Kylie Jenner. They run Meta’s Muse Spark AI, can translate languages, identify details in photos, estimate calories, and offer local recommendations. The move aims to broaden adoption amid growing wearable competition (Google, Samsung, OpenAI) and privacy concerns, with prices expected to fall further over the next few years as the market grows.
