Muse Spark Open hosted API providers

Last verified 2026-10-16

Running Muse Spark Open yourself takes around 700GB of VRAM. For most developers, a hosted API is the cheaper place to start.

Hosted APIs

Launch providers named by Meta:

ProviderNotes
OpenRouterOne API across many providers, easy to compare price and speed
Together AIOpen-model hosting and fine-tuning
Fireworks AILow-latency inference
GroqCustom LPU chips, very fast output
BasetenDedicated deployments
ModalServerless GPUs, per-second billing
NebiusGPU cloud

Prices and speeds change quickly, so check each provider. Most are OpenAI-compatible, so switching usually means changing only base_url and the model name.

Clouds

  • Amazon SageMaker AI
  • Google Cloud Model Garden
  • Microsoft Foundry Models

A good fit for teams that already have a cloud account or need data residency.

Example call (OpenAI-compatible)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", api_key="YOUR_KEY")
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="<model ID from the provider's page>",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain MoE in three sentences"}],
    temperature=1.0,
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
