The developers docs read on 4 November carry no beta or preview label for the API; the earlier beta reading came from reflection.ai pages now struck (10). 20 + 5 + 5 + 12 + 0 + 10 = 52."

No OpenAPI file; the Markdown reference is the contract, per the meta-model-api listing (0). llms.txt and Markdown copies of every page (10). The Muse Ember page and choose-a-model page say what to hand it and what not to (hard single-shot coding, knowledge-heavy questions, visual coding), with model ID, inputs, context, max output and effort range (18 of 20). JSON Schema tools and output, reasoning effort an enum, per the platform reading (12 of 15). Curl, Python and TypeScript examples and the platform's error guide (15). A versioned model ID and a dated launch post, with no API changelog (5 of 15). 0 + 10 + 18 + 12 + 15 + 5 = 60.\n- Beam 1.0 (84): Model reading. OpenAPI 3.0.3 document, version 0.1.0, covering all three documented endpoints with typed schemas and error examples. A second 'Reflection client' base URL, https://api.reflection.ai/v1, is named with no endpoints documented (22 of 25). llms.txt, a Markdown copy of every page and a docs MCP endpoint (10). The guides say which reasoning effort suits which task, which OpenAI parameters are fixed, ignored or unsupported and which endpoints don't exist, so a model knows what not to send (17 of 20). `reasoning_effort` is an enum, strict JSON Schema for tools and `json_schema` output with the unsupported keywords and size limits listed, and unknown parameters return `unsupported_parameter` (15). curl, Python and TypeScript examples on every guide, and an error reference with every status, `error.code` and retry advice (15). The model ID carries its version and the models endpoint has a `shutdown_date` field, but no changelog or release notes were found (5 of 15). 22 + 10 + 17 + 15 + 15 + 5 = 84. The OpenAPI file is linked from llms.txt; the guides beyond the overview, models, rate limits, authentication and reference overview pages are per the 17 October check.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Muse Ember +19\n\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- Beam 1.0 (45): Model reading. API keys per project, revocable, shown once and disabled when their creator leaves, with no scopes, expiry or rotation API found (20 of 30). Training 10 of 20, partial kept. The API reference says each response's `reflection-data-retention` header reports `contributor` when content may be used to train Reflection's models \"under contributor terms your organization accepted\". The API safety page and commercial terms read on 17 October are struck (reflection.ai now disallows our crawler), so whether training is off by default can't be read. Retention 5 of 15, partial kept. The header can report `zero`, `standard` or `contributor`, and no readable page states periods or whether zero retention is offered. `x-request-id` on every response and the retention header, with usage dashboards behind the login and not read (5 of 15). Security programme 5 of 20 (was 6). The model card names reports@reflection.ai for security vulnerabilities; developers.reflection.ai has no security.txt (404 on 17 October), and the safety report and reflection.ai's security.txt can't be read. No bug bounty, SOC 2 or ISO 27001 found on a readable page. 20 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 45.\n\n### Reliability: Beam 1.0 +12\n\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- Beam 1.0 (52): Hosted lines, for the Reflection API. Status page at status.reflection.ai on incident.io, with API, platform and developer docs components and Atom and RSS feeds (20). In the 90 days to 4 November 2026 its incident pages list two full outages of the API component, a serving cluster down from 22:01 to 23:20 UTC on 14 October and elevated errors from 06:10 to 07:10 UTC on 15 October, each an hour or more, so two majors. Three more are labelled partial outages (16 October 02:28 to 02:38 UTC, 22 October rate-limit errors in two windows, 3 November about 20:10 to 21:38 UTC on one inference provider), read as minor. Two majors give 5. Rate limits are described per organisation in requests and tokens per minute and per day, with concurrency caps and headers, but no figures are published (5 of 15). 429 and 503 responses carry `Retry-After`, daily limits add `x-should-retry: false`, and the errors page says which codes to retry, with exponential backoff and jitter. There are no idempotency keys, and a chat completion is the billed call, so this run's value for retry guidance without idempotency keys gives 12 (was 15). No SLA found (0). The developers docs read on 4 November carry no beta or preview label for the API; the earlier beta reading came from reflection.ai pages now struck (10). 20 + 5 + 5 + 12 + 0 + 10 = 52.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Muse Ember +10\n\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- Beam 1.0 (10): Graded on the Reflection API. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No per-token, plan or allocation price is published on any readable page; the beta pricing page on reflection.ai is struck (0, was 10). Free tier 10 of 20, partial kept. The rate-limits page describes a daily token allowance and asks those requesting higher limits whether they are \"interested in paid usage\", and the authentication page says some organisations must verify a credit card before keys work. A person signs up in the browser at platform.reflection.ai to get a key (0). 0 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 10.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Muse Ember +5\n\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- Beam 1.0 (67): Model reading (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs and defaults, errors). `tool_choice` of auto, none, required or a named function, `parallel_tool_calls`, strict tools and up to 128 tools. The tool-calling loop needs `reasoning_content` sent back on every assistant turn, and the docs say the model sometimes returns a tool-call step without it, after which every request in the session fails (12 of 20). `json_object` and strict `json_schema` (15). Cached prompt tokens are reported in `usage`, but caching can't be steered, the `prompt_cache_*` options are ignored and no cached price exists in the beta (5 of 10). 1,048,576-token context and 131,072 output tokens (15). No batch endpoint (0 of 10). No Reflection SDK, the OpenAI Python and TypeScript SDKs are documented, and defaults cost an agent turns, with reasoning always on at `max`, `stop` and `seed` ignored and a default output budget not reduced to fit the prompt (5 of 10). Machine-readable `error.code` values with `param`, `x-should-retry`, `Retry-After` and `x-request-id` (15). 12 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 0 + 5 + 15 = 67, per the 17 October reading of the developers guides, not re-read on 4 November beyond the models and rate-limits pages.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Muse Ember | Beam 1.0 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 40 | 52 | Beam 1.0 +12 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 60 | 84 | Beam 1.0 +24 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 67 | Muse Ember +5 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 64 | 45 | Muse Ember +19 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 20 | 10 | Muse Ember +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 46 | 50 | Beam 1.0 +4 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 53 | 57 | Beam 1.0 +4 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **51.8 · D** | **53.4 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Muse Ember | Beam 1.0 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Meta | Reflection |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.meta.ai/v1` | `https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1` |\n| Transports |  | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through Meta Model API and Muse Code under the Meta Model API Terms of Service (last updated 9 October 2026).

Launched today on an API with no readable status page, SLA or deprecation policy, and closed, with no weights.\n\n**Beam 1.0.** The Reflection API is OpenAI-compatible, with an OpenAPI document, strict structured outputs and tool calls, and error codes that say when to retry, and the weights are Apache-2.0. No price or rate-limit figure is published on a readable page, reasoning can't be turned off, and the API had two full outages on 14 and 15 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Beam 1.0\n\n1. Send `reasoning_effort` `low` or `medium` for short tasks. The default is `max`, and `none` or `minimal` return `400 unsupported_value`\n2. Return every assistant message with its `reasoning_content` unchanged. If a turn comes back without it, start a new conversation, since later requests fail with `missing_required_parameter`\n3. Don't rely on `stop` or `seed`. Both are accepted and ignored, so truncate output in your own code\n4. Honour `x-should-retry: false` on a 429. It means a daily limit is spent and `Retry-After` counts to 00:00 UTC\n5. Set `max_completion_tokens` yourself on long prompts. The default budget isn't reduced to fit the prompt and includes reasoning tokens\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Muse Ember or Beam 1.0?\n\nBeam 1.0 scores 53.4 (D) on agent readiness against Muse Ember's 51.8 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Muse Ember leads on agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Muse Ember and Beam 1.0 need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Muse Ember and Beam 1.0 without installing anything?\n\nYes. Muse Ember has a hosted endpoint at https://api.meta.ai/v1 and Beam 1.0 at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/muse-ember-vs-reflection-beam.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/muse-ember-vs-reflection-beam.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"muse-ember\", \"b\": \"reflection-beam\"}`.
