- Meta Model API, good for Long-running agent and coding work over text, images, video, audio and PDFs with a 1M-token context, where training must stay off by default.
- 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.
