Meta released Glimmer, an open-weight AI model that anyone can download and run on their own hardware — a contrast to Muse Spark, the company's more powerful model that stays locked behind its own APIs. The release landed alongside a letter from Mark Zuckerberg arguing AI should be "for everyone" rather than controlled by a handful of labs.
