Meta launches Muse Glimmer, an open-weight model for personal devices

Meta unveiled Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight model under Apache 2.0 license, designed to run on consumer GPUs on personal computers. The model demonstrates competitive performance on coding and software engineering tasks against comparable models like Gemma4-31B and Qwen3.6-27B. The release aligns with Meta's broader vision for democratizing superintelligence, articulated in CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 6,500-word manifesto criticizing the concentration of AI power and proposing a philosophy centered on individual empowerment and balanced power distribution.
