Meta Debuts First AI Coding Agent To Take On Anthropic and OpenAI
↗
Meta launched Muse Code, a preview-stage AI coding agent positioned as a lower-cost alternative to Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex, featuring pay-as-you-go pricing and an optional zero-data-retention mode for enterprise customers.
Engineers evaluating AI coding tools now have a new entrant that claims cost savings and offers a data-retention opt-out, which matters for compliance-sensitive codebases. The co-training approach with the underlying model may yield different performance characteristics than agents bolted onto pre-existing models.

Muse Code is available in preview with pay-as-you-go pricing and an optional zero-data-retention feature for enterprise users.
The agent handles end-to-end software engineering tasks including planning changes, writing code, and validating results.
Muse Code was co-developed and co-trained with the Muse Spark 1.2 model, which Wang claims improves coding performance.
