Summary: Meta launched Muse Code in beta, powered by Muse Spark 1.2, as a coding agent designed to write and debug software, verify results, handle long and complex development tasks, and run multiple sub-agents in parallel. Reuters also reported that Muse Code keeps a persistent activity log so work can resume after a crash rather than restart from scratch.
Why it matters: The coding-agent market is increasingly competing on the whole workflow, not just code completion quality. Long-running execution, parallel sub-agents, verification, durable state, and recovery after interruption are all harness-level capabilities. This is another sign that coding assistants are evolving into persistent software-development agents.
