Meta launched Muse Code in beta — a terminal-based AI coding agent with persistent async background agents — alongside Muse Spark 1.2, its third model in four months. On Meta's own benchmarks, it trails Claude Opus 5 across all three published coding benchmarks and beats GPT-5.6 Terra on two of three, trailing only on DeepSWE 1.1.

Sam Altman reversed a decade-long position to endorse AI pacing as 1,100+ employees from three labs petitioned Washington, and GPT-5.6 Luna's price collapsed 80% after Sol rewrote its own GPU kernels.
