Meta's Sept 2026 coding/agentic upgrade to Muse Spark — ~20% fewer tool calls and ~25% fewer tokens than 1.2 in internal comparisons, with longer-horizon multi-workflow persistence and more proactive clarifying questions. Same 1M context and $1.25/$4.25 Meta Model API pricing as 1.2 (contributor tier $0.10/$0.20). Open weights planned but not yet released; max reasoning mode pending further safety testing.
