## Definition

Muse Spark 1.1 is Meta Superintelligence Labs' second model release, a closed-weight multimodal reasoning model built for agentic tasks — planning work, calling tools, operating across apps, and coordinating parallel subagents rather than answering single-turn questions.

Meta launched it on [July 9, 2026](https://ai.meta.com/blog/introducing-muse-spark-meta-model-api/) alongside a public preview of the Meta Model API, its first paid developer API, priced at $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens with an OpenAI-compatible interface — a break from Meta's prior open-weights Llama distribution model, and the launch that pulled Mark Zuckerberg back onto X for the first time in three years.

## Analogy

Think of it as a project manager, not the best coder — it delegates and tracks work rather than writing the cleanest code.

## Why it's emerging now

Meta broke from its open-weights Llama tradition on July 9, 2026, shipping Muse Spark 1.1 as its first paid API model — leading rivals on tool-use benchmarks like MCP Atlas (88.1 vs Opus 4.8's 82.2) while trailing them on coding accuracy, and pulling Zuckerberg back to X after a three-year silence to announce it.
