Meta has introduced Muse Code, a new artificial intelligence coding agent designed to compete with software development tools from OpenAI and Anthropic.
According to the report, the terminal-based application entered beta testing on August 5 and is capable of handling end-to-end software engineering tasks, including planning code changes, writing programs and validating results.
The report said the project is being led by Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, through the company's Meta Superintelligence Labs.
Muse Code is powered by the Muse Spark 1.2 model and offers developers a usage-based pricing structure, with a lower-cost contributor tier intended to make the service more affordable.
According to the report, the tool also includes a local event log that records model interactions and code edits, allowing developers to resume work after interruptions or system crashes.
The launch marks Meta's latest effort to strengthen its position in the rapidly expanding AI-assisted software development market.
