Analysis Summary
Meta: Muse Ember comes from Meta. It launched in November 2026, making it a current-generation release. We place it in the Specialist tier, where it sits at #15 of 735 models overall. For raw reasoning ability it ranks #15 of 449, putting it in among the very best models we track for overall intelligence.
Its 1M-token context window is larger than 95% of the models we list, suiting long documents, large codebases, and retrieval-heavy workloads. Crucially for business adoption, Meta: Muse Ember combines tool use, function calling, vision input, and step-by-step reasoning in a single model, letting teams consolidate several use cases instead of stitching together multiple services.
At $0.100 input and $0.500 output per 1M tokens, Meta: Muse Ember is aggressively priced for high-volume use which makes it easy to justify for cost-sensitive, high-throughput deployments. Meta: Muse Ember is best deployed where its particular strengths line up with the task, rather than as a general-purpose frontier model.
