Summary A

Meta’s Muse Ember is priced at 10 cents per million input tokens and is positioned as a cheap execution model for high-volume agent work like tool calls, routing, extraction, coding subtasks, and long-document parsing. The practical shift is that agent stacks can push repetitive multimodal execution—text, images, audio, screenshots, scans, recordings—to a low-cost model while reserving frontier models for planning, cutting per-task costs without splitting workflows across separate modality-specific models.
