Meta releases Muse Ember, a lightweight multimodal model for agent execution
Meta’s Superintelligence Lab released Muse Ember, a lightweight, cost-focused AI model designed for agent-style execution tasks (tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction, long-document parsing) and multimodal inputs. Meta cites a cost of $0.10 per million input tokens and positions Ember to handle high-volume work alongside larger models like Muse Wonder.
KEY POINTS
- Meta’s Superintelligence Lab released Muse Ember, a lightweight, cost-focused AI model designed for agent-style execution tasks (tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction, long-document parsing) and multimodal inputs.
- Meta cites a cost of $0.10 per million input tokens and positions Ember to handle high-volume work alongside larger models like Muse Wonder.
- A lower per-task, multimodal model tailored for agent execution could materially reduce costs and enable larger-scale, volume-driven agent workflows by delegating execution to Ember while heavier planning runs on larger models.
WHY IT MATTERS
A lower per-task, multimodal model tailored for agent execution could materially reduce costs and enable larger-scale, volume-driven agent workflows by delegating execution to Ember while heavier planning runs on larger models.
SOURCES & TIMELINE
2Meta Superintelligence Lab released a new AI model on Monday called Muse Ember, the lab’s lightest and most cost-efficient AI model yet. In its release, Meta said Ember was “designed for complex reasoning execution and the work agents repeat all day: tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction, and long document parsing.” Meta particularly emphasized Ember’s cost-per-task, using Artificial Analysis’s composite …
Meta has introduced Muse Ember, its smallest and most efficient AI model to date. It's designed for the routine tasks AI agents handle all day: calling tools, handling small coding tasks, routing requests, extracting data, and processing long documents. Meta says Muse Ember delivers more intelligence per dollar at every reasoning level than Claude Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6 Luna. It costs about $0.14 per task in the Artifici…
