Prices & limits

Very few people know this, but Muse Spark 1.2 might be the best value model on the market right now.

Its intelligence is around GPT-5.6 Terra.

But if you use Muse Code and agree to code analysis through the Contributor tier, the price drops 10–20x.

So you basically get Terra-level intelligence at Luna-level cost.
