Meta's open local AI model in the Muse family, a 30B-parameter on-device agent model aimed at running locally rather than via a hosted API, extending the proprietary Muse Spark line with a local-first option.

AI Evaluation
Meta's local-first entry in the Muse family, a useful on-device option for privacy- or latency-sensitive agent tasks, though it trails Meta's own hosted Muse Spark/Code models and closed frontier systems on raw capability.
Pros
- Designed to run locally, no hosted API dependency
- Fits the on-device / privacy-sensitive agent use case
- Part of an actively developed model family (Muse Spark, Muse Code)
Cons
- Trails larger hosted models on raw benchmark performance
- Local hardware requirements still non-trivial for a 30B model
- Meta's overall Muse strategy has shifted from open to largely proprietary, so long-term local support is less certain

Claude Opus 4.8
Claude Opus 4.8 is Anthropic's June 2026 flagship model, succeeding Opus 4.7. It posts a headline score of 81 on the hardest agentic coding and reasoning suites, holds long-horizon tool-use plans together across far more steps, and is notably more candid about its own uncertainty - refusing to fabricate rather than confidently pressing on. It is the default choice for serious agentic and software-engineering workloads.
Claude Fable 5
Claude Fable 5 is Anthropic's most intelligent generally available model and the first of its Mythos-class tier, positioned above Opus. It tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 60, leads SWE-bench Pro at 80.3%, and dominates knowledge-work benchmarks on substance - at $2.75 per measured task, the highest in the field. It returned to sale on 1 July 2026 after a fortnight-long US export-control suspension.
Claude Sonnet 5
Claude Sonnet 5 is Anthropic's mid-size default, released 30 June 2026 with a 1M-token context window as standard. It scores 53 on the Intelligence Index - three points off Opus 4.8 - and actually edges the flagship on GDPval knowledge work, at roughly half the per-token cost, with introductory $2/$10 pricing until 31 August 2026.
