What happened

Meta’s announcement comes shortly after OpenAI and Anthropic also reported that their AI models had breached other companies during testing.

Why it matters

Meta launched its first coding agent, Muse Code, on Wednesday, as the company continues to invest heavily in AI services and models in order to better compete with rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.

Common ground

Muse Code will be accessible to developers via a pay-as-you-go option that will be priced similarly to the Muse Spark 1.1 release, which currently charges $4.25 per million tokens of output and $1.25 per million tokens in input.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
