Meta's Muse Glimmer Fits on a Laptop
The 30-billion-parameter model is available for free on Hugging Face and can run offline on consumer computers with enough memory.
- On Monday, California-based Meta announced the release of Muse Glimmer, its new artificial intelligence model, alongside a $1 billion fund to invest in US communities where the company operates data centers.
- Meta and peers including Amazon, Alphabet Inc, Google, and Microsoft Corp have committed more than $2 trillion to AI development, though local communities have protested against data centers' use of land, energy, and water.
- At 30 billion parameters, the Muse Glimmer is "small enough" to need only one graphics card to power its work, with weights available for download on Hugging Face.
- Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg argued Monday for distributing superintelligence widely to empower individuals, contrasting his approach with rivals "focused on building AI for companies, governments, or other institutions."
- Following the company's decision to begin charging for developer access to Muse Spark 1.1 last month, Meta also intends to release weights for a version of the more powerful Muse Spark.

Meta's Muse Glimmer fits on a laptop
Meta released Muse Glimmer on Monday, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight model designed to run agentic workflows on local hardware. It’s available for download on Hugging Face, but even more notable is how Meta turned its larger Muse Spark model into something small enough to work as a local agent. The model was trained using Spark, allowing it to learn how the larger model handles complex tasks. Then Glimmer was compressed, and a lightweight se…
