Current stateLaunchedstatus changed Aug 5

Latest change

Meta's Aug 5 debut of Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2 is still drawing comparison coverage against Claude Code and Codex as of Aug 9, with no pricing, availability, or benchmark details disclosed yet.

Earlier contextThe story so far

Meta had no dedicated AI coding-agent product until Aug 5, 2026, when it introduced Muse Code alongside an updated Muse Spark 1.2, explicitly framed as competition for Claude Code and Codex. VentureBeat's launch report singled out Muse Code's persistent async background agents as the headline capability, and Yahoo and Decrypt followed the same day with head-to-head comparisons.

What to watch — open questions

  • Has Meta announced pricing or general availability for Muse Code and Muse Spark 1.2?
  • Do independent benchmarks show how Muse Code's async background agents compare to Claude Code and Codex on real coding tasks?
  • Is Muse Code available to external developers, or limited to Meta's internal/enterprise use for now?
  • What does "persistent async background agent" mean concretely — task duration, checkpointing, or tool-calling limits Meta hasn't detailed yet?
