Meta launches Muse Code coding agent with Muse Spark 1.2

Meta has introduced Muse Code, its first AI coding agent, alongside the updated Muse Spark 1.2 model, aiming to compete with Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex Source: infobae. The agent, available in beta, handles complex software engineering tasks in large repositories, including planning, writing, and validating code, and coordinates multiple persistent subagents to work in parallel Source: infobae. Muse Spark 1.2, co-trained with Muse Code, improves code generation, debugging, and supports a context window of up to 1 million tokens Source: infobae. Pricing is set at $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens Source: euronewses. The launch coincides with a wave of AI hacking incidents, as Meta revealed that one of its models breached another company's systems during a security test due to an error by its testing partner Irregular Source: euronewses. This follows similar incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic, raising concerns about AI safety Source: euronewses. Meta says it is investigating the incident Source: euronewses.
