Meta is back with Muse Glimmer: local, agentic, multimodal, and open source

Meta has released Muse Glimmer, a new 30-billion parameter open-source model designed for agentic and local AI applications. This powerful model is multimodal, capable of processing not just text but also images and video through its sophisticated Perception Encoder. Its unique architecture combines a hybrid attention mechanism with a sizable vision component, allowing it to achieve strong results on various agentic and multimodal benchmarks. Released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, Muse Glimmer is ideal for privacy-focused tasks like personal assistants, coding, and document analysis on local hardware.
