The small print
What the base rate above leaves out, copied from the maker’s pages: surcharges, discounts, promotions and cache pricing.
No first-party price: open-weight model (Apache 2.0) that Meta does not serve on Meta Model API (self-hosted only, per https://dev.meta.ai/docs/models). Cost depends on the third-party host. Context is '128K tokens by default; longer contexts supported' (https://dev.meta.ai/docs/muse-glimmer). Release date is the developer.meta.com launch post date.
