Muse Code is out of beta and now built to handle bigger, more complex engineering tasks. Developers can get started with one command today:
curl -fsSL https://dev.meta.ai/install.sh | bash
Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook, now Meta, and is its chief executive. Muse Code is Meta's coding agent, worked from the terminal and built on Muse Spark 1.2, a coding model trained alongside the agent rather than wrapped around a general one. It keeps a repository of thousands of files in a 1M-token context window, splits a large job across sub-agents that each work in their own git worktree so parallel edits do not collide, and prints every sub-agent, tool call, steer and cancel to an event log. Muse Code is not new today: it opened in early beta on 5 August 2026, priced from $5 a month with $15 and $50 tiers above it, and a cheaper contributor tier in some countries in return for Meta training on your prompts and completions. What this post adds is that the beta is over.

Vaibhav Srivastav is at OpenAI, and was at Hugging Face before that, so this is written from inside the team that shipped the model. The five lines in the middle are the part to keep: what to change in your own prompts and AGENTS.md now that Astra follows instructions more closely than the model before it.
GPT-6 Astra is now available to all Pro, Enterprise and Business Premium users in ChatGPT Work and Codex. It’s also live in the API.
It's a phenomenal model and I love every second working with it!
Astra follows instructions more closely, so revisit your prompts and skills:
> Make “can you…” mean “do it”: finish authorised work and prepare a reviewable result before seeking approval.
> Audit AGENTS.md and skills. Ask it to identify the exact file and rule blocking progress. Prioritise your request over skill guidelines.
> Specify short paragraphs, plain language and phrases to avoid.
> Ask for subagents on independent work when it improves speed or quality.
> Run relevant checks. Repeat or expand only for changes, failures or unresolved concerns.
To push it to it's limits, I gave it a prompt to build a real-scale video fly through of nürburguring track in blender and it did not disappoint!
Enjoy! ✨
Miguel Ángel is a product engineer at HeyGen, and HyperFrames is HeyGen's own product, so this is the model being used on the thing he builds all day.
Astra is too good making @HyperFrames_ videos!
Astra is so cracked at Blender.
You can literally one-shot game assets with it.
