Meta delays the developer API release for its new Muse Spark AI model due to persistent bugs and infrastructure issues.

Meta has repeatedly postponed the launch of the developer API for its new proprietary AI model, Muse Spark. The delay, extending nearly two months past the initial target following its April announcement, is driven by software bugs and infrastructure challenges. While Meta is currently testing the API with early partners and targeting a release in June 2026, the postponement creates uncertainty for developers planning to build workflows around the model and highlights operational hurdles in Meta's shift toward paid closed-source APIs.

// ANALYSIS

Meta's transition from open-weight model distribution to managed closed-source APIs is hitting operational roadblocks.

* The delay indicates that Meta's infrastructure is struggling with the concurrency and stability required for a public developer API.

* Relying on a closed-source monetization model puts Meta under different pressure compared to Llama, where developers handled their own hosting and deployment issues.

* Early partner testing suggests a launch is close, but the delays have already caused developers to look at more stable alternatives like OpenAI or Anthropic.

OpenAI Codex CLI introduces the new `/goal` workflow command, allowing developers to set and monitor long-running, autonomous coding tasks directly inside their terminal.

OpenAI developer Dominik Kundel shared his experiences experimenting with the new `/goal` workflow command in the OpenAI Codex CLI. The `/goal` command (introduced in Codex CLI version 0.128.0) transitions the tool from a standard turn-based chat assistant to an autonomous agent capable of working persistently toward a defined, verifiable objective. Once set, the agent operates in a continuous loop of planning, acting, testing, and self-correcting until the objective is reached, with the goal state surviving terminal restarts.

Browser Use launches $0.02/hr remote browser infrastructure

Browser Use has launched a cloud-hosted remote browser infrastructure layer for AI agents, priced at $0.02 per hour (three times cheaper than previous options), offering sub-second cold starts and scaling up to 10,000 concurrent browser sessions. To prevent blocks by anti-bot systems, the platform incorporates automated CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies spanning 195+ countries, and advanced human hardware mimicry across various operating systems.
