A developer tested the Muse Glimmer model locally on an M5 Pro (48GB RAM) using Unsloth's Q4 quantization for coding and agentic tasks.
- Resource Usage: Consumes 20GB RAM with a generation speed of about 17 tokens/s.
- Coding Ability: Overall sits below Qwen3.6 27B; struggled to produce good frontend and backend code.
- Agentic Performance: On the positive side, it did not fail any tool calls during testing.
The author did not use complex reasoning loops and invites the community to share their findings.
