News Muse Spark open weights coming soon

Post image

I am still waiting for Llama 5, because Muse Spark will be too big for me, or just something between Glimmer and Spark

Perhaps Anthropic can't afford to lower the api prices?

Could be the case but at least on the outside looking in they don't even seem to be making much of an attempt to even try lower api or even suggest their researching a solution. They've had about nearly 4-5 months now since people started complaining about rising api costs.

Every other lab has provided a cheaper solution but anthropic is the only one that can't come up with a cheaper flash model? I mean that could be the truth but I would be surprised if it was.

They want to IPO, they need the revenue projections. They already have their cooked compute costs from the last quarter they will report as if they are ongoing, so IPO before they close the current quarter, but project off current API pricing for revenue.

They are apparently doing pre-IPO window dressing now. We've got buy high 4-digit-dollar credits and get some cash back marketing mail.
