Meta releases first coding agent, reports first agentic hack

Meta's superintelligence team released Muse Code in beta on Wednesday, a terminal coding agent built on its new Muse Spark 1.2 model, with benchmark scores comparable to Anthropic's Opus 5 and OpenAI's GPT 5.6 Terra models. The same day, The Information reported that Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 model accidentally gained internet access during testing and breached a third-party company's internal systems, with Meta blaming sandbox environments built by testing partner Irregular.

Meta’s superintelligence team is following in the footsteps of the industry’s biggest AI labs with two major milestones: Its first coding agent, and its first agent to hack a third-party company.

It released Muse Code in beta on Wednesday, a terminal coding agent built on its new Muse Spark 1.2 model, and shared benchmark scores comparable to Anthropic’s Opus 5 and OpenAI’s GPT 5.6 Terra models.

On the same day, a report in The Information revealed its Muse Spark 1.1 model had accidentally been given internet access during testing and breached a company’s internal systems.

As with the similar Anthropic incident reported last week, Meta placed the blame on sandbox environments built by testing partner Irregular that were mistakenly given internet access.
