The more interesting part is that Muse Spark 1.1 is Meta's first closed, paid model. The company that spent three years arguing open weights would win the ecosystem is now charging for API access. "Cheap, fast, and closed" is an admission that open weights didn't cover the compute bill.
@emollick The competition is getting a lot healthier. That's good for developers. https://x.com/sameerkattubadi/status/2075257560828133498/photo/1
@emollick Been using Grok this morning. I like it. And you can't beat the price!
@emollick What about poor Google? Why are they so far behind now???
@emollick Grok is definitely making a come back.
@emollick I look forward to your Grok test output, Ethan!
It seems like SpaceX/Grok and Meta/Muse have started to keep pace in the near-frontier category while also introducing a new category of cheap, fast & closed specialized coding models. Both were tied with the Big Three at some point, fell behind, but may have started to return.
(The gap with the frontier is quite large, still, and everything depends on RSI to see if the gap will grow or shrink).
