Muse Ember
Released
Muse Ember is an AI model released by Meta on Monday, Nov 9 2026, 25 days after Muse Spark Open. It has a 1M token context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider.. Benchmark results (shown below) cover AutomationBench (Artificial Analysis), GDP.PDF (Artificial Analysis), AA Coding Agent Index, Terminal-Bench 4.0, and AA Intelligence Index v5.0.

- InputWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it.
- $0.10
- Cached inputA reduced rate for text you send over and over. If every request starts with the same instructions or the same document, the provider keeps a copy ready and charges less to read it again.
- $0.004
- OutputWhat you pay for the text the model writes back. It is normally the dearer half: producing an answer costs more than reading one.
- $0.50

- $1.50
- Reasoning effort runs from "minimal" to "max". When a request sets none, the default is "max".
- A request with more than 200K input tokens, cached tokens included, is billed entirely at the long-context rates.
- Standard mode only on the Model API. Contributor mode is not available for Muse Ember.

Muse Ember was introduced on November 9, 2026 as Meta's smallest Muse model, built for the work agents repeat: tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction and long-document parsing. It was available the same day on the Meta Model API, under the id muse-ember-1.0, and in Muse Code on pay-as-you-go and every subscription plan. Meta called it the first model trained using Muse Wonder Full. The docs give it a 1,048,576-token context window, up to 524,288 output tokens, and text, image, video, audio and PDF inputs, and they pair it with Wonder or Spark when a workflow needs a larger model to plan.
Launch numbers are for max reasoning, which is the default effort when a request sets none. Meta reported 40.9% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 using mini-swe-agent, the harness it called Ember's best published one, 46 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index and 36 on Intelligence Index v5. Artificial Analysis runs also gave it 37.8% on AutomationBench and 22.8% on GDP.pdf. Standard token rates are $0.10 input and $0.50 output per million, with cached input at $0.004, for requests of up to 200,000 input tokens; above that, the whole request is billed at $0.30 input, $0.012 cached and $1.50 output. No parameter count or weight download was published, and the Model API offers Ember in Standard mode only.
