Market position
On blended price ($0.38 per 1M tokens at 30% input, 70% output) it is cheaper than 52% of models in the Budget price tier: 74th cheapest of 160, tied with 3 others. Across every price tier it is cheaper than 75% of priced text models in the catalogue: 74th cheapest of 303, tied with 3 others. No Arena score has been published for Muse Ember, so this page does not rank it on quality and OptimNow's quality bars do not apply to it. 77 of the 160 models we list in the Budget price tier carry one. An unranked model is unmeasured, not poor: the benchmark needs votes, and a recent release has not had time to collect them.
Licence, size and capabilities

Pricing by host
A host is a company that runs the model and sells it by the token: the model maker, a cloud platform like Amazon Bedrock, Azure or Vertex, or an independent host. One model, several hosts, and often several prices. This model is sold by 2 different hosts. The price we quote elsewhere on this page is marked. We quote one host's rate so that models stay comparable; it is not a recommendation to buy there.
The price we quote is already the cheapest of the 2 hosts: Meta at $0.10 input / $0.50 output per 1M tokens. All of them charge within 10% of one another.
| Host | Input $/1M | Output $/1M |
|---|---|---|
| Meta (model maker, price we quote) | $0.10 | $0.50 |
| Google (price we quote) | $0.10 | $0.50 |
