Open 30B dense model under Apache 2, around 60 GB. Meta's benchmarks look cherry-picked; Artificial Analysis shows it does not beat Qwen 3.6, so the creator calls it underwhelming.

Muse Glimmer is an open 30B-parameter dense language model from Meta, positioned for always-on local agents. Meta's page says it runs on a single GPU and is tuned for tool use, long-running tasks and failure recovery. Creators report weights of roughly 55–60 GB at full precision, with a quantized version also available.
Meta's own benchmarks show it ahead of similar-size open models such as Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.6 27B on many tests. Independent views are mixed: one reviewer, citing Artificial Analysis, says it does not beat Qwen 3.6, and another reports a score of 51 on Terminal Bench, well below frontier models. Its BusyBench output was described as poor.
It is released under Apache 2.0 and is intended for developers who want to self-host an agentic model on a desktop-class GPU. Meta's page lists run options, build resources and cookbooks, and a Model API exists on dev.meta.ai, though details of its pricing and country availability were not in the provided material.

Meta's open-weights 30B-parameter model meant for on-device use, fitting a desktop GPU. It scores 51 on Terminal Bench, well below frontier models, and the creator is glad Meta is releasing open models again.
Meta's small open-weight agentic model for local use. It beats similar-size models such as Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.6 27B on many benchmarks. Full precision needs about 55 GB, and a quantized version is available. Its BusyBench output was poor.
