Hugging Face published a blog post detailing Meta's open-source Muse Glimmer model. Designed specifically for local agentic use cases under the Apache 2.0 license, it is ideal for privacy-aware applications like coding, document analysis, and personal assistants.
Core Architecture:
- Dense 30B parameter model consisting of a 2B ViT vision encoder and a 28B text decoder.
- The LM uses hybrid attention: alternating three sliding window layers (2048 tokens, RoPE) followed by a fourth full attention layer (NoPE), repeated 13 times for 52 layers total.
- Introduces a DFlash-based speculative decoding drafter, providing significant speedups for structured content generation like coding.
