Meta’s New Open Source Model: Muse Glimmer (30B Param) under Apache 2.0 License
Meta has announced Muse Glimmer, a 30B parameter model available under an Apache 2.0 license (download and try it yourself). This is their first open-source release in more than a year, as the newly formed Superintelligence Labs restarts their open model releases following the Llama 4 delay.
Meta released their latest open-source model, Muse Glimmer (download & play around with it here), developed by their recently created Superintelligence Labs team. This is a 30 billion parameter model which only requires 20GB of memory, meaning you can run it on your own computer! Their previous open source model was released more than a year ago.
In his piece titled “The Future Is for Everyone”, Zuckerberg argued that it’s fine to clone and improve upon existing models, and that having just one company owning all the AI is bad. They will invest $600 billion in data centers by 2028, and they’re doubling down on open source to compete with China, unlike OpenAI.
