Meta has released Meta Muse Code, a terminal-based coding assistant for macOS and Linux, and it\u2019s clearly built for people working in real codebases, not toy projects.<\/p>\n

The company says you can install Meta Muse Code with a single command. From there, it\u2019s meant to handle the full loop across large repositories<\/strong>: planning code changes, writing the code, and checking the results. Meta is also leaning on persistent background agents, plus an event log that lets you pick back up after a crash or any other interruption.<\/p>\n\n

On pricing, Meta says the standard tier starts at $1.25 per million<\/strong> input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens. There\u2019s also a contributor tier that drops those rates to $0.10 and $0.20, but only if you agree to let Meta use your prompts and code for future training. That puts Meta Muse Code in direct competition with OpenAI Codex<\/a>, Anthropic Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, not just on performance, but on price too.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re after a lower-cost coding assistant<\/strong>, this is probably an update worth trying. If your day-to-day work involves proprietary code, though, that tradeoff may be a lot harder to swallow.<\/p>\n\n

The release lands in the middle of a broader rush around coding tools. Forecasts for the market are all over the place, from $4.2 billion in 2025<\/strong> to somewhere between $6.9 billion and $40.7 billion by the mid-2030s. Meanwhile, 84% of developers already use these tools or expect to, while only 29% fully trust the code they generate. That gap matters, especially as Meta looks for new revenue beyond Llama.
