Muse Wonder Full vs. Claude Sonnet 5.5

Muse Wonder Full is a large-scale artificial intelligence model developed by Meta for advanced agentic reasoning, professional knowledge work, and complex software engineering tasks. Introduced in October 2026, it represents the larger variant of the Muse Wonder family and builds on Meta's research into scaling pretrained models and reinforcement learning. The model is designed to manage complex objectives involving multiple steps, changing requirements, external information, and sustained problem-solving. Its Active Memory capability maintains important contextual information across conversations and retrieves relevant details when they become useful for subsequent tasks. Active Focus enables the model to pursue long-running assignments, explore alternative strategies, recover from obstacles, and adapt to new information. The system can request clarification when instructions are incomplete and seek user confirmation before performing important actions. Muse Wonder Full supports professional applications involving legal documents, financial analysis, health-related information, and business process automation. Its coding capabilities include generating software, analyzing existing repositories, tracking implementation requirements, modifying source code, and performing iterative testing and debugging. Meta trained the model on diverse long-running software engineering tasks to support development projects requiring multiple rounds of implementation and revision. Evaluations include MemoryBench for contextual memory, FocusBench for sustained task execution, SWE-Marathon and DeepSWE for software engineering, and additional assessments covering professional agents and unfamiliar problem-solving tasks. Muse Wonder Full is available to Muse Code subscribers, with Meta also reporting safety evaluations addressing personal information handling, adversarial instructions, unauthorized code execution, and misuse prevention.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic’s faster, lower-cost Claude 5.5 model for well-scoped professional work, software development, agentic workflows, and content creation. Anthropic positions it below Claude Opus 5.5 for the most complex open-ended work, but says it can perform comparably on some benchmarks when run at higher effort settings. The model delivers a particularly large improvement in coding, including a 70.6% result on Terminal-Bench 4.0, 46.2% on FrontierCode at Max effort, and 55.5% on CursorBench 4.0. It also scores 1844 on GDPval-AA, 1811 on AA-Briefcase, 64.5% on Humanity’s Last Exam with tools, and 80.1% on OSWorld 2.1 partial. Anthropic reports that Sonnet 5.5 is better at long-horizon work, image understanding, collaboration, and codebase comprehension than Sonnet 5. The company also highlights design-oriented improvements, including the ability to produce polished documents, spreadsheets, slides, and user interfaces with less editing. Sonnet 5.5 generates output more than 30% faster than its predecessor and is Anthropic’s fastest Sonnet model to date. Although its listed token prices are unchanged from Sonnet 5, Anthropic says greater token efficiency can reduce per-task cost by up to 30%. Pricing is $2 per million input tokens, $10 per million output tokens, $2.50 per million cache-write tokens, and $0.20 per million cache-read tokens. The model includes cyber safeguards, biology safeguards, reasoning-extraction protections, and preserved-thinking controls, with some higher-risk cyber requests falling back to Sonnet 5. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available with zero data retention across Claude products, the Claude Platform, AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure under the model name claude-sonnet-5-5.
