Muse Glimmer model releases

Meta's first open-weight agentic model, released Aug 10, 2026 under an Apache 2.0 license — Meta's return to open weights after the closed Muse Spark line. A ~30B-parameter dense causal transformer (about 29.6B parameters across 52 layers) paired with a ~1.8B ViT-G/14 perception encoder, so it accepts interleaved text and images and returns text across more than 100 languages. Carries a 131,072-token context, a 202,048-token vocabulary, and a Jan 4, 2026 knowledge cutoff. Uses grouped-query attention (32 query heads, 2 KV heads) in a local/local/local/global pattern with a 2,048-token sliding window, plus speculative decoding for throughput. Quantized to roughly 4-bit it fits inside a ~24GB memory envelope, running on a single consumer GPU or an Apple-silicon Mac — the model is tuned for on-device agent workloads. Shipped the same week as the closed-weight Muse Spark 1.2 coding flagship; Meta's first agentic model to ship with both open weights and a permissive commercial-use license.
