Meta worth noting update AI agents Development

Meta released Muse Spark 1.2 and the agent Muse Code at 20 cents per million tokens, acknowledges shortcomings in its own benchmarks

Meta released the coding model Muse Spark 1.2 and the agent Muse Code (beta), with a plan starting at 20 cents per million output tokens in exchange for data sharing. The company itself acknowledges that its comparative benchmarks against competitors are not methodologically balanced.

New: Muse Spark 1.2 pricing: 20 cents per million output tokens; The model compresses context instead of truncating it in long sessions; Greater compute investment in training on programming tasks; Meta acknowledges methodological shortcomings in its own benchmark tests; Muse Code can restore context after a failure in long-running tasks

Business impact

Companies considering deploying an AI coding agent gain another low-cost alternative to Claude Code and Codex, but the lowest price is tied to sharing company code with Meta for model training, and the comparative tests conducted by Meta are, by its own admission, methodologically unbalanced relative to competitors.

Google worth noting update Other Strategy

Google DeepMind: Gemini 4 model is in the fine-tuning phase, release planned earlier than end of year

Google DeepMind head Koray Kavukcuoglu said that the Gemini 4 model is in the fine-tuning phase and the company plans to release it much earlier than by the end of the year. He previously said that leadership in frontier AI is the company's sole priority; the Gemini 3.5 Pro model, despite being announced, was never released.

New: Gemini 3.5 Pro was never released, even though it was announced in May 2026; the project missed 3 deadlines; Demis Hassabis stepped down from leading Google DeepMind in August 2026; Kavukcuoglu replaced him; Kavukcuoglu explicitly rejects AGI as a priority, calling it 'not the right conversation'; Google DeepMind operates under competitive pressure as a 'Gemini factory' (a model-production facility); Gemini 4 is in the 'early phase of post-training', with release planned 'much earlier' than by the end of the year

Business impact

Companies choosing AI model vendors should bear in mind that Google has not had a confirmed flagship model since November 2025, has repeatedly pushed back deadlines (Gemini 3.5 Pro has not been released after three missed deadlines), and is experiencing departures of key people to Anthropic and OpenAI.
