Meta's Muse Ember is the cheapest model scoring 36 on the Intelligence Index
Meta's Muse Ember scores 36 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching Claude Haiku 5.5 (max) at $0.14 per task versus $0.41, making it the cheapest model scoring 36 or higher. It stands out on AutomationBench-AA at 68.1% and scores 46 on the Coding Agent Index in Muse Code, but its AA-Omniscience accuracy of 21.1% is the lowest among similarly intelligent models, largely because it declines to answer 64% of questions, keeping its hallucination rate at 17.4%. Pricing is $0.10 input / $0.004 cached input / $0.50 output per 1M tokens, available via Meta's first-party API and Muse Code.
The piece offers a detailed cost-versus-capability breakdown that helps readers judge whether a cheap efficient-tier model fits agentic and coding workloads.
