## Key points

- Meta has released its lightest Muse model, designed for agent tasks.
- Ember costs 10 cents per million input tokens.
- It handles text, images and audio, and can work alongside Muse Wonder.

## Summary

Meta’s Superintelligence Lab has released Muse Ember, its lightest and most cost-efficient AI model so far. It is intended for repetitive agent tasks such as coding, tool use and document parsing, and Meta says it can handle high volumes at lower cost while maintaining accuracy.

Meta says Ember costs 10 cents per million input tokens and is competitive with both larger models and some open-source alternatives. It supports text, images and audio, allowing agents to process items such as screenshots, scanned documents and recordings. Meta envisages pairing it with the larger Muse Wonder: Wonder sets the approach, while Ember applies it across many cases.
