By default, even without the training endpoint the pricing is pretty competitive, especially against Opus and Fable. [1] The 'muse-spark-1.3-contributor' endpoint is by far the cheapest, significantly cheaper per M than ChatGPT Luna, significantly smarter than Luna too.

This price/intelligence beats even legacy DeepSeek V4 Flash pricing.

Yeah. Super icky. But this might be the first time in Zuck’s life he’s being honest about the business model.

You can check out Muse Spark 1.3 by using OpenCode (https://opencode.ai/ - open-source AI / coding harness). There's a terminal version and a GUI / desktop version. Good luck!

What is the confusion? They directly state that you are the product if you use their discounted offering. It isn't an assumption that should lead you to this, it is Meta's very direct communication that should lead you to this

I'm confused what your surprise is here. It's plain and simple right to the point wording.

I don't see the wiggle room at all.

aren't they explicitly saying this with both their pricing and their wording? I'm not sure what you are alluding to?

the meaning is pretty obvious - they want to train on your chats & tasks and are willing to subsidize for the privilege of doing so.

Would it help you understand if they were labelled "For Dumb Fucks" and "For Everyone Else"?

they're doing the same thing as DeepSeek

Privacy is not free. They make it quite clear that they charge more if you don't want your data used by Meta.

I think it's more that the "not used to improve our models" is expensive because companies need that. It's simple price differentiation.

In other words, it's not that Meta really wants your data and they're willing to pay top dollar for it. It's that companies really don't want Meta to have their data and they're willing to pay top dollar for that.

Given OpenAI and Anthropic's behavior, do you really expect them to be singled out for this practice? Zero trust has been in "LGTM" territory for years now. Meta's bet against people taking a principled stance arguably paid off great.

Lmao. And their benchmark table only shows max reasoning.
