- Antseed, good for Agents and coding tools that want pay-per-request inference with no account, and owners comfortable holding USDC on Base. Ahead on Reliability, 52 against 40; Payments & pricing, 70 against 20; Maintenance & community, 79 against 46; Transparency & trust, 59 against 53. Also No key needed to call it; Free to start without a card; Open source.
- Muse Ember, good 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. Ahead on Schema & documentation, 60 against 55; Agent ergonomics, 72 against 56; Security & auth, 64 against 45. Also A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install; No incidents deducted, where Antseed loses 3 points for them.

Why the edge:
- Payments & pricing, Antseed +50: Antseed 70 (x402 v2 exists only on `POST /v1/key/topup` of a gateway the owner runs, and is off until enabled per key.); Muse Ember 20 (Published rubric.)
- Maintenance & community, Antseed +33: Antseed 79 (v0.2.72 was tagged on 31 October 2026, 4 days before the check (30).); Muse Ember 46 (Model reading.)
- Security & auth, Muse Ember +19: Antseed 45 (Model reading.); Muse Ember 64 (Platform readings are the meta-model-api listing's of 4 November.)
- Agent ergonomics, Muse Ember +16: Antseed 56 (Model reading, as for other routers.); Muse Ember 72 (Model reading.)
- Reliability, Antseed +12: Antseed 52 (Read with the local-software lines, since the buyer runs the proxy.); Muse Ember 40 (Model reading, for the surface it's called on, Meta Model API.)
- Transparency & trust, Antseed +6: Antseed 59 (GPL-3.0 source for the protocol, CLI, desktop app and contracts (30).); Muse Ember 53 (Editorial half.)
