Meta Releases Muse Glimmer: A 30B Open Agentic Model for Local Deployment
TimDarcet · x · 2026-08-12
Meta Superintelligence Labs introduces Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter dense open-weight model optimized for always-on local agent workflows.
- Core Features: Small enough to run on a Mac or PC with a single consumer GPU, enabling offline use cases like local agents, function calling, local coding, and LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation.
- Agentic Capabilities: Built for end-to-end agentic task completion, combining reliable tool use, multi-step reasoning, failure recovery, and compatibility with existing agentic scaffolds.
- Multimodal & Controllable: Offers multimodal reasoning (text, images, charts, documents) and controllable effort to balance reasoning depth with speed.
- Open Source: Weights released under Apache 2.0. Optimized integrations for llama.cpp, MLX, and ExecuTorch are landing soon to help developers build local agents in minutes.
