Muse Spark 1.1 is strongest at agentic performance, tool use, and computer use.

It does well on long-running tasks with 1M token context window, can delegate execution to sub-agents running in parallel, and is trained to use computer interfaces on desktop, mobile, or browser, as per META.

It's available through Meta's new Model API and in Meta AI.

The Meta Model API allows developers to build using Muse Spark for the first time. Their focus is on delivering strong agentic and multimodal models at very low cost. More to come soon.

Problem: Investors, Celebs, C-suite businessmen, Famous people, etc. are afraid to share their email id's publicly in fear of getting spammed.

Existing solutions: simplelogin by proton (aliases), hey (similar to simplelogin), hidemyemail by apple (only for signups and apple ecosystem), superdm (very trimmed down basic version for dm's, basically a glorified form), and some other basic extensions exist.

Idea: To build a complete layer of a tool which sits between the sender and receiver. Both sender and receiver don't change any habit. After the initial contact, they go back and forth in their existing emails. The tool acts as a gatekeeper.

Pros: Can stop emails before they reach inbox, can close emails access on off-days/vacations, or can accept emails for certain topics only. All they share is a public link of the tool, and in their dashboard can control how may emails they can get, by whom and at what time. Have full control of the incoming mails, without ever sharing their email.

Each conversation gets their own masked email, which the receiver can close whenever they want. If blocked, the sender mail can never respond nor create any new topic email.

Cons: You tell me!

I tried to explain the idea in very simple form. More stuff can be built on top of it.

Roast away the idea!

tl;dr: Share public link instead of actual email, respects privacy without changing any habit.

The Cloudflare Monetization Gateway is an engine that will give Cloudflare customers the ability to charge for any asset protected by Cloudflare: web pages, datasets, APIs, or MCP tools.

It will provide a single control plane to manage payment policies and access controls across your applications, while also protecting your origin from high payment volumes by handling payment verification and enforcement at the edge. At launch, payments will settle in stablecoins over x402, the open protocol they are building with a coalition of more than 25 industry leaders via the x402 Foundation.

The Monetization Gateway will provide a flexible payment rules API that will allow you to express exactly when you want a caller to pay to access your digital resources.

Here’s how it will work. Tokens, APIs, MCP tool calls, and data already flow through that path. You will decide, as precisely as you want, which of that traffic has to pay. And you will be able to enforce your decisions by writing expressions, similar to expressions that you already write for other Cloudflare rules, in a simple, dedicated product API. The Monetization Gateway will scale with Cloudflare’s global network across 330 cities, which means that the x402 handshake will occur in close proximity to your buyer. This will reduce request latency and protect your origin.
