Meta Releases Muse Glimmer, a 30B Open-Weight Model for Local Agents

Meta released Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight language model built for local, always-on agent workflows. The model is optimized to run on consumer hardware such as Macs and PCs with capable GPUs without cloud connectivity, and its weights are released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, continuing Meta's practice of open-sourcing foundational AI research. Meta reports strong performance on key agentic benchmarks relative to other models in its size class, targeting developers who need private, low-latency, on-device automation.
