Meta Launches Muse Spark 1.1 for AI Coding
TechCrunch AIhigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Meta's entry into AI coding tools intensifies competition with established players like OpenAI and Anthropic.
- →Competitive pricing could make Muse Spark 1.1 an attractive option for enterprises seeking automation solutions.
- →The model's capabilities in handling complex workflows and large-scale code migrations address key enterprise needs.
Meta has launched Muse Spark 1.1, a multimodal AI model aimed at agentic coding, entering a market dominated by OpenAI and Anthropic. The model is designed to handle complex processes and digital workflows, with competitive pricing at $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens. This positions Meta as a strong contender in the AI coding space, despite being a late entrant. CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized the model's strengths in agentic tasks and hinted at future developments. The launch underscores Meta's strategic push into AI, alongside other recent releases like Muse Image.

Llama.cpp b9948 Release Enhances CUDA Efficiency
The latest b9948 release of llama.cpp focuses on optimizing memory usage in CUDA operations, specifically in the ggml_top_k() and ggml_argsort() functions. By processing data in smaller chunks, the update reduces the need for large temporary buffers, enhancing performance on CUDA-enabled systems. This release also includes minor code improvements like allocating temporary destinations only once and refining the use of ternary operators. While no new model architectures are introduced, these changes make llama.cpp more efficient for developers working with CUDA, particularly in memory-constrained environments.
