15 MuseSpark 1.3 Contributor

MuseSpark Contributor 1.3 was released the day before yesterday. Even Gemini Flash 3.8 was released the exact same day. So many releases occur nowadays that it is hard to keep track of them all.

I tried the new MuseSpark on OpenCode Go and it is a substantial improvement over its sibling: the 1.2 release. It is noticeably sharper in its reasoning. It is disappointing that the model continues to hide the CoT reasoning traces and returns summaries instead.1 I still think DeepSeek V4 Flash is the smarter of the two, but the gap seems to have narrowed significantly. The pricing is the same as before:

TypePrice
Cached Read$0.002/M
Input$0.10/M
Output$0.20/M

And OpenCode Go provides the same 6x factor, turning a $10 subscription into $60 of usage.

  1. Chain-of-thought. Both DeepSeek and Qwen are far more open about this.
