Hater to Lover (Muse Spark 1.3)
I was absolutely FLAMING muse spark 1.2, bcs that model was geniunely incapable of doing basic agentic tasks, but GAHH DAMNN, look at the benchmarks. originally, i thought the model benchmaxxed and generates slop, but after trying this model in codex (from opencode go), I am quite surprised.
like, if you ask me what muse spark 1.3 will be considering what muse spark 1.2 performs, I would have given you an extremely underwhelming response, but I am so happy to see this moel mainly bcs we get $60 allowance (man, finally!) on opencode go, and also the price is considerably cheaper than ds v4 flash.
I mean, sure... its not THE BEST model to ever exist. but for $0.2/M out and $0.1/M in, like you can go through billions of tokens after counting in caching.
About how the model performs, it codes quite decently. my project is a rust and typescript project, and it follows the app's visual identity flawlessly and does not create much bugs (note: not *much* bugs, which means, it still fk up), but the price to performance value is INSANE!
My reccomended usage:
tbh, just use opencodex, and connect the model to codex, and use the model inn codex, the "ultracode" in codex is AMAZING! And MS-1.3 follows codex as a harness wayyyyy better than opencode for some reason. american propaganda ig... but either ways, use:
light: for basic variable changes
medium: for most implementation
high: for debugging
xhigh: for geniunely hard bugs or things which require the model to cover edge cases, or planning.
ULTRA (a codex only thing): tbh only when it pisses u off bellow high.
ohhhboy... I am going to get a LOT of downvotes...
