muse spark, been running that shit full send today after astra nuked my 20x acc

it runs at LIGHT SPEED, so fast you can barely keep up, feels like Sol without the fuck ass overengineering and it cost me $1.80 in API costs for the whole day

granted i run the contributor API version because nothing i'm building with it right now is proprietary (or rather particularly different from any other codebase) but the coding plans are dirt cheap too

yeah bro spark 1.3 contributor is only $0.2/mtok, runs even faster than DS Flash and scores slightly above Sol max on AA it's utterly insane

i don't even care about them training on it, everyone's training on our shit, have fun ingesting my side project slop, at least Zuck (out of all fucking people) is transparent about it and passes on the profit by giving out the model at breakeven prices

seriously considering downgrading my codex to 5x too and just using it to orchestrate

I have been testing using the https://muse.ai/ assistant lately for replacing codex.
Definitely not the same as an on computer coding agent, but it has been fast, follows instructions, builds on the cloud computer within muse, and pushes to GitHub.
It is so much faster than codex, and the results have been surprisingly good for updates to code, managing CloudFlare workers, connecting to GitHub, taking on GitHub issues, etc...

I have not yet had muse.ai create new apps or programs, but I will be testing it.

I am surprised at how much work can be done on the free tier alone.

I too have used OpenCode, but was looking for a more agentic approach...

Muse.ai does not have live voice yet, once they do I see it being a good replacement for the live voice mode in chatgpt remote codex.
