# Meta Releases Muse Spark 1.2 with Terminal Coding Agent Muse Code

> Meta has shipped Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent powered by its updated Muse Spark 1.2 model. The headline feature is how it handles work in the background: instead of spawning a fresh helper for every task and throwing it away, Muse Code keeps persistent async subagents alive for the whole session, so they can carry context across a long stretch of work. The other notable piece is reproducibility. Muse Code keeps an append-only event log that records every model call, tool run, approval, and edit, which makes a run replay-exact. That is a meaningful nod to teams that need to audit or debug exactly what an agent did, a recurring pain point as these tools take on more real code. Meta frames the release as gains in code generation, debugging, and codebase understanding, but the design choices are the interesting part. Persistent background agents and an auditable log are bets about what serious agentic coding actually needs, durability and traceability, rather than just a smarter one-shot autocomplete. It also keeps Meta in a fight where OpenAI, Anthropic, and a wave of startups are all pushing hard.
