The reviewer praises the model's orchestration abilities, low rate of 'dumb' mistakes, token efficiency, and distinct non-Claude-like communication style, while criticizing its poor 3D and UI generation, confusing two-tier naming, and lack of published pricing for the stronger Wonderful Full variant (only the smaller Muse Wonder has public API pricing at $4/$20 per million tokens). Extensive side-by-side coding and code-review benchmarks are shown comparing Muse against Opus and GPT models, concluding Meta has become a credible third frontier lab alongside OpenAI and Anthropic. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How much does Meta's Muse Wonder model cost via API? Muse Wonder is priced at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, with a 20 cent cost for cached reads, making it slightly cheaper than Claude Opus. This pricing applies only to the smaller Muse Wonder variant; the larger Muse Wonderful Full model has no published price and is only accessible through a Muse code subscription. _Developers comparing model costs before switching providers can track pricing details like this on daily.dev._ ### What are the performance differences between Muse Wonder and Muse Wonderful Full? Muse Wonder runs at roughly 120 tokens per second while Muse Wonderful Full runs around 50 tokens per second, indicating a substantially larger underlying model for the Full version. In code audit benchmarks, the smaller Muse Wonder scored about 30% lower than Wonderful Full, and only Wonder is available over API with pricing, while Wonderful Full requires a Muse code subscription. _Anyone weighing which model tier to integrate can follow benchmark comparisons like this on daily.dev._ ### How good is Meta's Muse model at 3D and UI generation compared to Claude Opus? Muse Wonderful Full performs poorly at both 3D generation and UI design, producing low-quality Blender output and visually unattractive interfaces, similar to older models like Sonnet 3.7. Both Claude Sonnet and Opus significantly outperform it on these tasks, and Meta itself acknowledges visual and spatial reasoning, especially 3D tasks, as a known limitation in its release notes. _Developers choosing a model for UI or 3D-heavy workflows can weigh trade-offs like these on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/meta-just-caught-up-with-anthropic-jmikjk570) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Meta just caught up with Anthropic","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/meta-just-caught-up-with-anthropic-jmikjk570","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/meta-just-caught-up-with-anthropic-jmikjk570"},"datePublished":"2026-10-13T11:07:59.085Z","dateModified":"2026-10-13T11:08:56.022Z","description":"A new Meta model release, called Muse Wonder and Muse Wonderful Full, is reviewed in depth after several days of hands-on testing against Opus 5.5, Astra,...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DbWL6Zs2j_g/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DbWL6Zs2j_g/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Theo - t3․gg","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Theo - t3․gg","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--UmX7IyU3--/f_auto/v1704628081/logos/t3dotgg.jpg","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/meta-just-caught-up-with-anthropic-jmikjk570","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai,ai-agents,anthropic","timeRequired":"PT38M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"Meta just caught up with Anthropic","description":"A new Meta model release, called Muse Wonder and Muse Wonderful Full, is reviewed in depth after several days of hands-on testing against Opus 5.5, Astra,...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DbWL6Zs2j_g/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-10-13T11:07:59.085Z","duration":"PT38M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/JmIKjk570","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/DbWL6Zs2j_g"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Theo - t3․gg","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Meta just caught up with Anthropic"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/meta-just-caught-up-with-anthropic-jmikjk570#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does Meta's Muse Wonder model cost via API?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Muse Wonder is priced at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, with a 20 cent cost for cached reads, making it slightly cheaper than Claude Opus.
