Meta details Muse Glimmer: open-weight model for local agents, from pre-training to quantization
LotfiSanae · x · 2026-10-09
Meta FAIR researchers Yoram Bachrach and Maryam Fazel-Zarandi gave a technical talk at Meta Connect on Muse Glimmer, Meta's open-weight model designed to power local (on-device) agents.
The talk covers the full model-building pipeline:
- Pre-training, mid-training, and post-training
- Distillation and quantization approaches
- Inference optimization
- Benchmarks and real-world deployments
The blog post and session are available via the Meta Horizon OS developer portal.
