Nothing on the Artificial Analysis board beats Muse Spark 1.2 for less money. So the real reason to leave is the weights Meta promised and has not shipped.

Meta Muse Code has no price, no plan, and no spend cap. Here is the real rate card, the three defaults that set your bill, and how to bring it down.

Meta Muse Spark 1.2 pricing is identical to 1.1, yet costs 37% more per task. Here is the full rate card, both tiers, and where the extra money actually goes.

xAI shipped Grok 4.6 with the same $2/$6 headline as 4.5. I went through what actually moved: the cache rate, the 200k cliff, and the hallucination number.

I put Google's Gemini 3.7 Flash against its own benchmarks and its own price list. It is fast and sharp, but it is no longer the cheap high-volume workhorse.

Meta shipped Muse Spark 1.2 as a coding release. The coding scores barely moved. The agent scores jumped. Here is what actually changed, and what the cheap tier costs you.

Grok 4.6 lists at $2/$6, and doubles every rate once a request crosses 200k tokens. I checked what seven alternatives actually charge, and which ones remove that cliff instead of moving it.

Grok Bot gives every AI teammate a cloud computer and a set of real logins. I went through every doc page and the first week of user reports to see what ships.

Grok Bot sells at $200 a month or $120 a seat, but the sticker is only the entry fee. The docs say there is no spend cap yet, and the meter runs weekly.
