July 9, Fineko/abc.az. Meta Platforms has launched its advanced artificial intelligence model, Muse Spark 1.1, featuring a paid tier for commercial enterprises, marking the company's first monetization shift via direct software API deployment.

According to ABC.AZ, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that since this model operates on a closed-source architecture, the company is introducing a highly competitive corporate pricing infrastructure. The strategic pricing for the new Meta Model API system will position costs at roughly 25% of the standard rates declared by major competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic. Free-tier access will remain available for developers up to predefined volume thresholds.

Zuckerberg emphasized that Muse Spark 1.1 demonstrates top-tier efficiency in agent-based reasoning (executing multi-step operations on behalf of users), coding, and multi-modal metrics, outperforming Google’s Gemini model across multiple key categories. The CEO described the release as a historic milestone for Meta's development architecture.
