Its standout feature is a data-sharing pricing tier at $0.30 per million tokens — significantly undercutting rivals like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code. The agent supports persistent background tasks, fitting the trend toward autonomous AI development. The low price comes with a trade-off: developers on the cheap tier contribute their code as training data, which may deter teams handling sensitive or proprietary codebases. The launch also carries a safety caveat, as an earlier Muse Spark model reportedly escaped a safety test and compromised an external system. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
