Commit 6d2c7c13 stopped it, first released in v0.2.58 on 12 October 2026, and CHANGELOG.md marks the entry as security and tells users to rotate exposed keys. Two more released fixes marked security in CHANGELOG.md fold into the same term, a local client spending from a workspace wallet by naming its buyer identity (v0.2.61, 16 October 2026) and API-key holders reusing a request ID to skip spend accounting (v0.2.67, 22 October 2026).

Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/antseed.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/antseed.json\n- Muse Ember: grade D, 51.8/100, rank #1017 of 1515. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/muse-ember.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/muse-ember.json\n- Best model APIs and inference for AI agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/inference/index.md\n- All 871 models comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/inference/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Antseed (C)\n\nGood for: Agents and coding tools that want pay-per-request inference with no account, and owners comfortable holding USDC on Base.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 52 against 40\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 70 against 20\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 79 against 46\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 59 against 53\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- No key needed to call it\n- Free to start without a card\n- Open source\n\nWatch for: The buyer proxy copied client credential headers to sellers until v0.2.58 (12 October 2026), with no published advisory\n\n### Muse Ember (D)\n\nGood for: Agents that hand out many small, bounded tasks (sub-agents, tool loops, routing, extraction over thousands of files) and want a cheap multimodal model with a 1M context behind the same API as a bigger Muse model.\n\nAhead on:\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 60 against 55\n- Agent ergonomics, 72 against 56\n- Security \u0026 auth, 64 against 45\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install\n- No incidents deducted, where Antseed loses 3 points for them\n\nWatch for: No weights and no parameter count published, so it can't be run locally\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Antseed +50\n\n- Antseed (70): x402 v2 exists only on `POST /v1/key/topup` of a gateway the owner runs, and is off until enabled per key. Inference is paid through Antseed's own HTTP 402 flow with EIP-712 signatures and USDC channels on Base, which isn't one of the three protocols the rubric names (10 of 40, a judgement call). PRICING.md in the repository says seller prices per 1M tokens are published without authentication at a cached endpoint and live through `antseed network browse --json` (20); the 8 October snapshot figures came from that JSON endpoint and are struck. Free models answer with no card and no account, per the docs on 8 October (20). An agent can install the CLI, get a key generated locally and fund it by a USDC transfer, with no sign-up flow (20). The self-hosted rule gives the same three lines for the free software.\n- Muse Ember (20): Published rubric. No payment protocol (0). Per-token prices for both tiers published without a login, read 9 November (20). No free API allowance found; billing needs a card, per the platform reading (0). Browser sign-up (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Antseed +33\n\n- Antseed (79): v0.2.72 was tagged on 31 October 2026, 4 days before the check (30). 67 release tags from 6 August to 31 October 2026, 20 of them after 8 October (20). Pull requests merge daily (225 merge commits since 8 October in the clone), while issue reply times weren't sampled (13 of 25). The CLI is maintained in the repository, with a node library and 13 plugins, TypeScript only, and no MCP registry entry (8 of 15). CI is configured on main with a pnpm lockfile and a pinned Node version, run results unread on 4 November (8 of 10, partly met, kept).\n- Muse Ember (46): Model reading. Released 9 November 2026 (30). No deprecation policy or notice period found, per the platform reading (0 of 12). Dated launches on the API, the latest Muse Wonder on 12 October and Muse Ember on 9 November (8 of 8). No Model API changelog; a help centre with tickets (8 of 15). No SDK of Meta's own (0 of 15, 0 of 10). 30 + 0 + 8 + 8 + 0 = 46.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Muse Ember +19\n\n- Antseed (45): Model reading. The local proxy has no key and binds to 127.0.0.1. One secp256k1 key is identity and wallet, stored in plain text by the CLI unless supplied by environment variable, and encrypted by the OS keychain in the desktop app. Spending is bounded by a deposit contract, a capped ReserveAuth per seller and an optional separate withdrawal wallet, and gateway keys are hashed, revocable and spend-limited (18 of 30). Sellers are independent, and the FAQ says a standard seller can read prompts and sets its own practices (5 of 20). No central log, and an optional TEE-verified route with attestation checked on the buyer's machine (8 of 15). Seller, token and cost headers per response, `antseed buyer metering` and a Prometheus exporter (12 of 15). The buyer proxy stopped forwarding client credentials to sellers in v0.2.58 (12 October 2026). No SECURITY.md in the 4 November clone; no security.txt, published advisory, bug bounty, certification or contract audit report found. The repository holds one automated review of the buyer proxy dated 8 March 2026 (2 of 20). Docs per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November, because the terms of 9 October 2026 bar scripts that scrape or mine data from the Offerings, which include the documentation.\n- Muse Ember (64): Platform readings are the meta-model-api listing's of 4 November. Team keys, named, revocable, no scopes (20 of 30). Standard mode only, so content isn't used to train Meta models under the terms, with safety use reserved (17 of 20). Retention 'as needed' with zero retention through sales (10 of 15). Usage dashboard by model, no per-call log (5 of 15). No security.txt on dev.meta.ai, a bug bounty and a security commitments page, no named certification (12 of 20). 20 + 17 + 10 + 5 + 12 = 64.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Muse Ember +16\n\n- Antseed (56): Model reading, as for other routers. Tool use and structured output depend on the seller, and the model list reports both per seller with conservative model-level values (12 of 20 and 8 of 15). Cached-input pricing is advertised per seller where supported (8 of 15). Context length is reported per model as the lowest value across sellers (10 of 15). No batch route found (0 of 10). No SDK of its own for buyers. OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs work against the proxy, and wrappers launch Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode (5 of 10). Documented error codes with fixes, and cost and seller headers on non-streaming responses (13 of 15). Docs per the 8 October check, not re-read on 4 November, because the terms of 9 October 2026 bar scripts that scrape or mine data from the Offerings, which include the documentation.\n- Muse Ember (72): Model reading. Tool calls, parallel calls, computer use and search grounding, with tool_choice limited to auto per the platform reading (15 of 20). Strict structured output (15). Automatic prompt caching, cached input at 4% of the input price (15). A 1,048,576-token context, but requests over 200K input tokens bill at three times the rate for the whole request (12 of 15). No batch endpoint (0). No SDK of Meta's own; OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs against compatible endpoints (0). OpenAI-style errors with fixes and retryable codes (15). 15 + 15 + 15 + 12 + 0 + 0 + 15 = 72.\n\n### Reliability: Antseed +12\n\n- Antseed (52): Read with the local-software lines, since the buyer runs the proxy. Official npm package @antseed/cli with Node.js 20 or later stated, plus desktop installers (20). Public CI on main runs the unit tests, an end-to-end suite and a payment flow (ci.yml in the clone), but the run results on GitHub couldn't be read on 4 November, so 15 of 25. Open issues and pull requests per the 8 October count (74 and 32), with bug reports from late September open then and reply times not sampled (12 of 25). CHANGELOG.md calls out breaking CLI changes, but versions are 0.x patch bumps and recent entries sit under one Unreleased heading (5 of 15). Release tag v0.2.72 and CLI 0.1.220 at that tag, with no statement of stability (0). Whether a request is answered also depends on which sellers are online, which this checklist doesn't score.\n- Muse Ember (40): Model reading, for the surface it's called on, Meta Model API. No status page with readable history, per the meta-model-api listing's 4 November check (0), so no readable incident history (5). Rate limits published per team and per model, 3,000 RPM and 4,000,000 TPM for muse-ember-1.0, read 9 November (15). 429 and 503 with Retry-After, backoff guidance and rate-limit headers, per the meta-model-api listing (15). No SLA found (0). Muse Ember carries no preview label, but the API opened as a public preview in July and no general-availability notice was found, so half, as for the platform (5). 0 + 5 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 5 = 40.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Antseed +6\n\n- Antseed (59): GPL-3.0 source for the protocol, CLI, desktop app and contracts (30). The terms (last updated 9 October 2026), FAQ and privacy page agree that there is no central request log and that sellers may log prompts. There is no privacy policy document, and docs/telemetry.md says the PostHog region and retention period are still to be documented (12 of 30). No deprecation policy found. The changelog gives version cut-offs for protocol changes and a dated cutover of 10 September 2026 for staking contracts (8 of 20). Desktop telemetry is documented event by event with a toggle and an environment switch, and is keyed to the buyer's public wallet address. No telemetry code found in the CLI (16 of 20). docs/telemetry.md is unchanged since 15 September 2026 in the 4 November clone.\n- Muse Ember (53): Editorial half. Closed model under the Model API terms, with clear terms and law; no weights and no parameter count, unlike Muse Spark Open and Muse Glimmer (15). Standard content isn't used for training, retention periods not stated outside zero retention (18 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices (0).

The CLI creates a wallet key, free models answer at once and paid ones draw on deposited USDC, with seller, tokens and cost in response headers. Sellers are unvetted and can read prompts unless TEE-verified, the proxy forwarded client credentials to them until 12 October 2026 with no advisory, and every package is pre-1.0.\n\n**Muse Ember.** A cheap, capable model for the repeated parts of agent work, at $0.10 and $0.50 per million tokens with a 1M context and Meta's figures putting it level with Claude Haiku 5.5 on fewer tokens. Launched today on an API with no readable status page, SLA or deprecation policy, and closed, with no weights.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Antseed\n\n1. Send a placeholder key such as `antseed-p2p`, and run v0.2.58 or later, which stops credential headers reaching sellers.\n2. Call `GET /v1/models` first and request a concrete id. The `antseed` alias works only when the desktop app has a model selected\n3. Handle 402 `insufficient_deposits` by reading `suggestedAmount`, then fund the address from `antseed buyer deposit` with USDC on Base\n4. Pass `--verifiers antseed-verifier --require-verifier` to `antseed buyer start` when prompts are private, so only TEE-verified sellers are routed\n5. Read `x-antseed-peer-id` and `x-antseed-estimated-cost-usd` on each response, and pin a seller with `\u003cpeerId\u003e@\u003cmodel\u003e` when the same one must answer\n\n### Muse Ember\n\n1. Call https://api.meta.ai/v1/responses (or /chat/completions or /messages) with model muse-ember-1.0 and a bearer MODEL_API_KEY\n2. Set the effort explicitly, reasoning.effort on Responses or reasoning_effort on Chat Completions. It defaults to max, and none isn't accepted; minimal or low suits classification and routing\n3. Keep input under 200K tokens a request, cached tokens and previous_response_id history included, or the whole request bills at the long-context rate\n4. Use it for sub-agents and bounded repeated tasks, and a larger Muse model for the plan, as Meta advises\n5. Use strict structured output for extraction and routing steps\n6. In Claude Code, map the haiku alias and sub-agent model to muse-ember-1.0, per Meta's guide\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Antseed or Muse Ember?\n\nAntseed scores 54.1 (C) on agent readiness against Muse Ember's 51.8 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Muse Ember leads on schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Antseed and Muse Ember need an API key?\n\nAntseed needs no key. Muse Ember needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Antseed and Muse Ember without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Antseed. Muse Ember has a hosted endpoint at https://api.meta.ai/v1.\n\n### Are Antseed and Muse Ember open source?\n\nAntseed is open source (GPL-3.0 (LICENSE in the repository). The @antseed/cli manifest on npm carries no licence field). No open-source release is listed for Muse Ember.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/antseed-vs-muse-ember.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/antseed-vs-muse-ember.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"antseed\", \"b\": \"muse-ember\"}`.
