Model comparison
Compare Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta and Muse Spark 1.3 using the same provider-sourced text & reasoning rubric. No mystery score and no invented benchmark ranking.
Facts checked September 4, 2026
Set your usage. Your estimate updates as you type.
Example: 6,000 input tokens for 10 pages, plus a 500-token summary. Page lengths vary; adjust the numbers below.
One run sends your input to the model once and receives an answer. Tokens are pieces of text: input is what you send, output is the answer you receive.
Estimates exclude taxes, tools, cache storage/writes, free allowances and custom discounts. Image estimates cover output only, not prompt or reference-image charges. Quality modes differ by model. Unlisted settings are not treated as free.

Quick take
A specialist Grok model that sends several AI agents to investigate a difficult question in parallel, then combines their work into one researched answer.
This is a beta product, not the newest general-purpose Grok. Its interface may change, and built-in searches or code runs can add cost beyond the headline token price.
Meta's latest multimodal reasoning model for long-running agents, coding, tools, and complex user collaboration.
Meta's public launch does not publish every operational limit or one complete API data-use commitment. Check the live model page, price, region, retention controls, and maximum output before production.
Compare the published facts
Values use each provider's own published units and limits. A blank means the provider did not publish a directly comparable value in the sources reviewed.
| Text & reasoning | Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent Beta | Muse Spark 1.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Context windowMaximum combined prompt and working context documented by the provider. | 1,000,000 tokens | 1M active context management in the Muse Spark API family |
| Maximum outputProvider-published response limit, where available. | Not published | Not separately published |
| Knowledge cutoffLatest reliable knowledge date explicitly published by the model provider. Search and connected tools can retrieve newer information but do not change the model's built-in cutoff. | Not published | Not published |
| Input priceCurrent standard list price per million input tokens unless noted. | $1.25 / 1M | See live Meta Model API price |
| Output priceCurrent standard list price per million output tokens unless noted. | $2.50 / 1M | See live Meta Model API price |
| InputsMedia types accepted by the listed model endpoint. | Text, image | Text, image, video, PDF |
| Tools & agentsSelected native tools and agent-building capabilities, not an exhaustive list. | 4–16 agents; functions, web/X, code, collections | Parallel tools, coding, long-running agents, high reasoning |
How to choose
Start with the job you need to complete, then validate cost, access, and policy details on your exact provider route.
SpaceXAI says API inputs and outputs are not used for training without explicit permission. Requests are encrypted and retained for 30 days by default; team-level zero data retention is available with feature tradeoffs.
Provider and API links
The public Muse Spark model and release pages reviewed do not state one complete API retention or training-use commitment. Check the current Meta Model API terms and account controls before using private data.
