Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 API pricing squeezes OpenAI and Anthropic as the AI price war heats up

Meta has launched the Muse Spark 1.1 API, introducing a high-performance coding model priced significantly lower than competing services from OpenAI and Anthropic. The model demonstrates improved accuracy and a reduced hallucination rate compared to its predecessor, positioning it as a competitive alternative for developers. By aggressively undercutting established market pricing, Meta is intensifying the cost competition among major AI labs. This release marks a shift for the company, as it moves to capture market share in the commercial AI development space.
