Local gamedev AI stack: Meta's Muse Glimmer nails tool use in one try where Gemma 4 12b fails

draginol · x · 2026-09-29

Developer @technomantics reports success running an in-box gamedev AI team on a single PC with 24GB VRAM and 28GB RAM, generating 8-bit SFX and 30-second MIDI music fully locally, powered by Meta's Muse Glimmer model for tool calling.

The comparison is striking: Gemma 4 12b could not use the tools properly, while the larger Ornith 1.5 35B A3B had to be re-taught how to use the tool stack multiple times to come close to what Muse Glimmer achieved in a single attempt — a vivid showcase of how much small models still differ on agentic tool use.
