Meta is paying to peek at how you use their latest AI model
Meta offers roughly 95% discounts on Muse Spark token pricing for customers who share prompts and outputs to train future models.
Meta's contributor pricing tier for its Muse Spark agentic coding model cuts input token costs from $1.25 to $0.10 per million and output tokens from $4.25 to $0.20 per million in exchange for access to user prompts and outputs. The move reflects labs' difficulty obtaining training data for agentic workflows, following Meta's paused employee computer-usage tracking initiative. Analysts note the incentive could push enterprises to clarify which data is shareable, and it fits broader price competition against Anthropic's Fable and Mythos models and OpenAI's July price cuts.
- Contributor tier prices input tokens at $0.10 per million versus $1.25 standard; output at $0.20 versus $4.25.
- Meta seeks agentic training data after an employee usage-tracking initiative drew criticism and was paused in June.
- Pricing follows Anthropic's Fable/Mythos cost cuts and OpenAI's late-July discounts, intensifying price competition.
