Summary

This article compares the performance of three AI models—Muse Spark 1.2, Claude Opus 5, and Kimi K3—in generating code for a 3D shopping mall scene, highlighting trade-offs in cost, speed, and code quality.

Same shopping mall. Same prompts. Muse Spark 1.2 → 6m 08s → 30.3K output tokens → $0.135 → 1,289 lines → 2,969 draw calls/frame Claude Opus 5 → 35m 37s → 172.4K output tokens → $4.345 → 2,461 lines → 554 draw calls/frame Kimi K3 → 76m 56s → 134.6K output tokens → $2.021 → 1,754 lines → 221 draw calls/frame The headline is ridiculous: Muse was ~32× cheaper and ~6× faster than Opus. But there’s a catch. Muse was the cheapest model to generate and the most expensive model to render. Nearly 3,000 draw calls per frame eventually became the bottleneck. Kimi went the opposite direction. It spent 106K reasoning tokens across the two scenes and took almost 77 minutes, but its final code was the only one that needed zero manual fixes. And Opus had the strangest lighting behavior. The daytime scene needed a manual lighting fix, while its night scene came out correctly without intervention. https://x.com/thehypedotnews/status/2091860654554595786/video/1…

Same shopping mall. Same prompts.

Muse Spark 1.2

→ 6m 08s → 30.3K output tokens → $0.135 → 1,289 lines → 2,969 draw calls/frame

Claude Opus 5

→ 35m 37s → 172.4K output tokens → $4.345 → 2,461 lines → 554 draw calls/frame

Kimi K3

→ 76m 56s → 134.6K output tokens → $2.021 → 1,754 lines → 221 draw calls/frame

The headline is ridiculous:

Muse was ~32× cheaper and ~6× faster than Opus.

But there’s a catch.

Muse was the cheapest model to generate and the most expensive model to render. Nearly 3,000 draw calls per frame eventually became the bottleneck.

Kimi went the opposite direction. It spent 106K reasoning tokens across the two scenes and took almost 77 minutes, but its final code was the only one that needed zero manual fixes.

TLDR AI

Meta releases Muse Spark 1.3, an improved AI model that enhances performance in agentic and coding tasks with better usability and collaboration for real-world applications.

Reddit r/AI_Agents

Meta released Muse Code beta with Muse Spark 1.2, positioning it as a third coding-agent option next to Claude Code and Codex. Its key differentiators are parallel sub-agents in isolated worktrees, persistent background agents, and local event logging for crash recovery, making it suited for long-running tasks on large repos.
