Muse Spark 1.1
Muse Spark 1.1 is a Meta proprietary reasoning model, released 9 Jul 2026. Its best configuration ranks #82 of 785 on the BenchLeader Index at 62.5 ±5.6, in the upper half. The ± is the point: 200 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in instruction following (72) and lowest in agents & tools (52). At $2.00 per million tokens blended it is pricier than most ranked models. Output speed of 200 tokens per second puts it in the fastest quarter, with a first token in 1.6 s. It has been measured at 4 reasoning-effort settings; this summary describes the best-scoring one, and the tabs above switch between them. Last measured 22 Oct 2026.

Versions
Meta has shipped 4 models under this name. Each is ranked on its own results; a newer version often has fewer results so far, which holds its index nearer the average until more arrive.

Reasoning-effort configurations
The same model behaves differently depending on how much it is allowed to think. Each row is one setting, scored only on the benchmarks that were run at that setting. “Not stated” collects results from publishers that did not say which setting they used; for a reasoning model that is usually its thinking mode, but we do not assume it. Pick a setting here or at the top of the page to see its price, speed and category scores.

How its index has moved
8 Sept 2026 to 21 Oct 2026- not stated
- xhigh
The index is recomputed from scratch every day, so a line moves when a new benchmark result lands, when a publisher revises a score, or when the models it is normalised against change. Early movement usually means the score is still settling.

Where it wins
Benchmarks where this configuration ranks in the top five of every configuration measured.
Where to run it
Every provider serving this model through OpenRouter, with throughput and first-token latency measured on live traffic over the last 30 minutes and each provider’s own price. Purple marks the best in each column.
| Provider | Speed | First token | Input $/M | Output $/M | Context | Quantisation |
