Muse literally came out of nowhere and launched a frontier model that actually beats OpenAI. Command A Introducing Muse Wander, our new family of frontier models with state-of-the-art performance and personal and professional with agentic work. All you've got to do is look into the benchmarks and it is scoring pretty damn well. And by the way, there's two models. There's Muse Wander and there's Muse Wonderful. And the first one, Muse Wander, is available through their API. However, Muse Wonderful is only available through their plan. And look at this website. How nice is that? Yeah. I'm digging it. I feel like everybody is doing it, but it's really nice. I like it. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, really cool effect. Muse Wander hits us here just ahead of GPT-6 or at least on par with GPT-4, but then Muse Wonderful is second only to Claude Opus 5.5, over Fable 5.1, over Astra, over Argon. And it's pretty damn cool. Pretty damn good. I tried using it, but as I say, it's only available through their Muse Code platform. And this, honestly, is an awful CLI. It's such a basic rubbish CLI. It looked like It looks like Codex. It looks slightly worse than Codex. But you've got a $5 a month gives you access to Muse Spark, Muse Wander, and Muse Image. Higher usage again, but only the power usage that gets you Muse Wonderful. $50 a month to get that. And I wasn't willing to pay that. Yeah. See any impressive usages or examples? No, I haven't seen anybody building anything like super useful with it. But I mean, these models are getting better and Mhm. It was really expensive. It was really expensive from what I see. Even though you're paying for the $50 a month plan, people are chewing through that. And then Alexander Wang uh found that he's they've been seeing quarterly usage more. So they reset set the limits even after that. Like this is a this is [snorts] an expensive model. I find it interesting that ChatGPT, well, OpenAI and Claude, you know, ChatGPT and Claude are two products that are adding features. They have like feature it's not just the model anymore. For them it's the whole suite of features that they they give you. Like Claude code design I've been using it, which is crazy. I didn't see that coming, but I used it and it's good. So I'm using it. So [snorts] to me it's like now it's becoming again hard to leave an ecosystem because of just the model. You get so much. Are people willing to buy this plan for that? So That's my point, yeah. Probably not. But again, back to the point with the reverse engineering everything, maybe we can reverse it have a reverse engineered Figma kind of like open source and then you can run it with any agent that you want and then theoretically there you go, you have Muse wonder or wonderful and you can do whatever you want. This is part of a larger conversation on my show Command AI, which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web.
