Something you can actually use or run today.
On November 9, 2026, Meta launched 'Muse Ember,' a lightweight AI model priced at $0.10 per million tokens, designed for agentic workflows.
The race to the bottom on price for 'routing' and 'simple tool' models makes complex agentic architectures more financially viable at scale.
AILookup take
Ember completes Meta's trifecta, providing a cheap 'muscle' model for agents to use when they don't need the 'brain' of Muse Spark. It's a pragmatic release for cost-conscious developers.

Details
- Ember targets high-frequency, low-complexity tasks where cost is the primary constraint.
- It completes Meta's 'Muse' lineup, ranging from high-reasoning (Spark) to high-speed (Ember).
- Developers can use Ember for routing and simple tool execution to save budget for larger models.
Consensus
Muse Ember is a strong competitor in the 'commodity intelligence' space.
