Meta Superintelligence Lab released a new AI model on Monday called Muse Ember, the lab’s lightest and most cost-efficient AI model yet. In its release, Meta said Ember was “designed for complex reasoning execution and the work agents repeat all day: tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction, and long document parsing.”
Meta particularly emphasized Ember’s cost-per-task, using Artificial Analysis’s composite benchmark score to show Ember as cheaper and smarter than competitors like Anthropic’s Haiku and OpenAI’s Luna.
At 10 cents per million input tokens, Ember is significantly cheaper than frontier competitors like Haiku and Luna. Not only that, it’s cost-competitive with open-source competitors like DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GLM 5.3 Flash.
