Meta Releases Low-Cost Muse Ember Model for Agent Tasks
Meta released Muse Ember, a low-cost model for agent tasks, but total cost depends on reliability and escalation, not just token price.

Meta has released Muse Ember, a small model built specifically for agent execution. The model carries a reported input cost of ten cents per million tokens, positioning it as a lower-cost option for teams running automated workflows at scale.
Lower-cost models can make high-volume automation more economically viable, but the summary notes that token price alone does not determine total cost. Teams evaluating Muse Ember for agent tasks will need to measure reliability and escalation costs alongside the per-token rate to understand the full operational expense.
