  Strengthened +7

  Meta put Muse Spark 1.1, an agentic multimodal model with a one-million-token context window, behind a metered API and is charging developers directly for the first time. A platform company that previously monetized models only through its own products entering the metered API market is the exact conversion the thesis describes.

• Sep 8
  Strengthened +7

  Meta is selling Muse Spark 1.1 through its own Meta Model API at $1.25 per million input and $4.25 per million output tokens with a one-million-token context window, well under Anthropic's rates. A social platform standing up a metered frontier API and undercutting incumbents on price is the core hyperscaler-entry pattern.
