Meta Launches Cheaper AI Model Ember

Meta announced the release of Muse Ember, its smallest and cheapest AI model, on Monday. Priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens, it matches Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 performance at a third of the cost per task. CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed the launch on X, noting it delivers higher intelligence per dollar than rivals.
