Meta bets on local AI with Muse Glimmer 30B for PCs and Macs

Meta has launched Muse Glimmer 30B, an open-weight AI model built for local agents, coding, tool use and multimodal tasks. The model posts strong benchmark scores against Gemma4-31B and Qwen3.6-27B and can be compressed to under 20GB for high-end consumer hardware.

New Delhi: Meta has introduced Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight AI model aimed at running agent-style workloads directly on personal computers. The model has been released under the Apache 2.0 licence and is designed for tasks such as coding, tool use, document analysis, local assistants and multi-step workflows.

The big pitch here is local AI. Meta says Muse Glimmer can run within a 24GB or 32GB memory envelope after quantisation, which brings a 30B model within reach of high-end consumer PCs and Macs. It supports text and images, more than 100 languages, long-context tasks and different reasoning levels.

1/ big announcement today: we will be releasing an open weight version of muse spark 1.2 soon.........
