Meta AI Released Muse Spark 1.3: An Agentic Coding Model That Uses ~20% Fewer Tool Calls and ~25% Fewer Tokens Than Muse Spark 1.2
This week, Meta Superintelligence Labs released Muse Spark 1.3. It is the fourth Muse Spark release in five months, and the target is long-horizon agentic and coding work rather than single-turn generation. The framing in Meta’s post is usability: sustaining a long thread, collaborating with the user, and knowing when it is stuck. Is it deployable? Yes, but with two limits. Muse Spark 1.3 ships today in Muse Code and the Meta Model API, so you can call it in production now. You cannot
Meta Superintelligence Labs released Muse Spark 1.3, an AI model designed for long-horizon agentic and coding work that uses approximately 20% fewer tool calls and 25% fewer tokens than its predecessor. The model is designed to sustain long threads of work by asking clarifying questions when prompts are ambiguous, pulling users in when it stalls, and flagging its own limitations rather than guessing at answers. Muse Spark 1.3 is available now through Muse Code and the Meta Model API for production use, though the weights remain closed and self-hosting is not possible. According to Meta's internal benchmarks, the model outperforms competitors on several coding-related evaluations, with the efficiency gains translating to lower costs per completed task.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha

Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely

Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.

Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
