Muse Wonder

Meta's frontier model arrived on 2026-10-12 in two versions that share a name, and the difference decides what you pay: Muse Wonder is sold per token — $4 in, $20 out per million — while Muse Wonder Full is not sold at all, only included with a Muse Code subscription from $50 a month. Meta's launch table leads with the Full column, which is why several headlines quote a score the cheaper model did not earn.

On the independent index the two land at 56 and 52, against 58 for Claude Opus 5.5 at the same price as Muse Wonder. What Meta is not is the cheap option this time: the previous Muse models cost a third as much, and this page has the ladder.

What a subscription actually buys

Muse Code is where most people will meet this model, and the tiers do not differ by model alone — the $5 plan reaches Muse Wonder, and nothing below $50 reaches Muse Wonder Full.

Muse Code tiers and which Muse model each one unlocks $5/month Everyday Usage Muse Wonder $15/month High Usage Muse Wonder $50/month Power Usage Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full $200/month Maximum Usage Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full Everything above Muse Code's $5 tier also includes Muse Spark, Muse Image and voice mode.
PlanPriceWhat it allows
Everyday Usage $5/month 10–50 prompts every 5 hours, image and video uploads included, voice mode, web search
High Usage $15/month 5x the Everyday allowance, more multimodal inputs
Power Usage $50/month 20x the Everyday allowance, early access, larger uploads · The cheapest tier that reaches Muse Wonder Full
Maximum Usage $200/month 80x the Everyday allowance

The Muse app itself is free and separate: Meta's own note is that Muse Wonder will reach it for subscribers first. The developer route is the one that bills per token.

Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full are not the same model

Meta's launch table prints Muse Wonder Full in the first column and Muse Wonder in the second, so a number quoted from the table's leading column belongs to the model that requires the $50 plan. On the independent index the gap is four points (56 against 52), and the cheaper model is the faster one (181 output tokens a second against the Full model's unpublished figure).

Muse Wonder Full is not on OpenRouter and has no per-token price. Everything else on this page is about the model you can actually call.

What the benchmarks say, and who says it

Meta's own evaluation covers 12 areas and claims state-of-the-art results on several of them, from agentic computer use (OSWorld V2.1) to ultra-long-horizon engineering (SWE-Marathon) and legal agent work (Harvey LAB-AA). Those are vendor figures on vendor test sets, and Meta's page publishes them in a grid that leads with the Full column.

The third-party view is narrower and easier to compare: Artificial Analysis runs the same suite across models and publishes a single index, a speed and a cost per task.

Calling it

On OpenRouter the id is meta/muse-wonder, the same three prices apply, and OpenRouter applies moderation — a flag 141 of the 465 catalogue entries carry and that Muse Wonder's own open-weight sibling does not. Web search is billed separately at $ 0.0025 per search, a field almost no other model on the catalogue declares.

curl https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Meta's own API takes the same shape through an OpenAI-compatible client, and its model page is the source for the subscription table above.

Is it on OpenCode?

No. OpenCode Zen and Go carry Muse Spark 1.3 and 1.2 — including a contributor tier that discounts in exchange for training on your data, and free routes — but not Muse Wonder. Someone searching for Muse Wonder on OpenCode is looking at a family whose frontier member is not there yet.

Where the discussion is

The launch thread is the readable one: 669 points and 381 comments on Hacker News, read 2026-10-16. Two of its arguments run through everything on this page — whether the ranking is real, and whether Meta has stopped competing on price.

“I'm sorry zuck, i wasn't familiar with your game — 2nd place model on aa according to them, losing only to opus 5.5 is really really not bad”

the ranking question, from the top comment

“unlike other Meta models this one seems to take a pretty big jump in pricing, as opposed to the prior ones, where they typically came out at a highly discounted price compared to every other model”

the pricing question, which the family table below answers with numbers

Elsewhere the conversation is spread across venues that do not have a readable API. The links are the honest version of a summary:

Meta's week, and what it says about the price

Three days after Muse Wonder, Meta released Muse Spark Open — open weights for a coding-tuned model, 816B parameters with 42B active, gated behind a manual access request on Hugging Face and licensed under Meta's own Muse Model License rather than an OSI one. It runs on OpenRouter at $1.25 / $4.25.

Read as a price list, the family shows what changed: every earlier Muse model was the cheap option in its bracket, and Muse Wonder is not.

ModelInput / 1MOutput / 1MNote
Muse Wonder $4.00 $20.00 Frontier tier; on both Meta's API and OpenRouter
Muse Spark 1.3 $1.25 $4.25
Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor $0.10 $0.20 Meta may train on the data
Muse Spark Open $1.25 $4.25 Open weights, gated, released 2026-10-15
Muse Glimmer 30B $0.30 $1.20

Meta's API prices and the OpenRouter catalogue agree on every row above, read 2026-10-16. A model that is one row off this table — the contributor tier at $0.10 — is the one whose data Meta may train on.

Where to go next

Muse Wonder FAQ

Is Muse Wonder a new model, or a new way of using one?

A model. Meta's frontier reasoning model, released 2026-10-12, sold through Meta's own API, a Muse Code subscription and OpenRouter. The Muse app and Muse Code are the products around it; Muse Wonder itself is the weights.

How much does Muse Wonder cost?

Through an API: $4 per million input tokens, $0.20 cached, $20 output — the same on OpenRouter and on Meta's own model page. Through Muse Code the model is included from the $5/month tier, and the stronger Muse Wonder Full needs the $50 tier.

What is the difference between Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full?

Full is the stronger model and is not sold per token: it comes with Muse Code's Power Usage ($50) and Maximum Usage ($200) plans. Meta's launch benchmark table leads with the Full column, so a headline number quoted as "Muse Wonder" is often the Full model's.

Is Muse Wonder on OpenCode?

No. OpenCode Zen and Go carry Muse Spark 1.3 and 1.2 (including a contributor tier and free routes), not Muse Wonder. On OpenRouter the id is meta/muse-wonder.

Does Muse Wonder have open weights?

Muse Wonder does not. Meta released a separate open-weight model the day after, Muse Spark Open (816B total, 42B active), gated behind a manual request on Hugging Face under Meta's own Muse Model License rather than an OSI licence.

How good is Muse Wonder, according to someone other than Meta?

Artificial Analysis puts it at 52 on its Intelligence Index against 58 for Claude Opus 5.5, 56 for Muse Wonder Full and 53 for GPT-6 Astra, at $4.52 per evaluation task and 181 output tokens a second. Meta's own table publishes wins it does not share; both are linked, and neither is a measurement of yours.
