Meta launches Muse Glimmer model as Zuckerberg champions AI for 'everyone'

• Meta is launching a new agentic AI model, Muse Glimmer, which it says can run on a laptop.
• The model is open-weights, which means users can download and modify it.
• Meta also plans to release an open-weight version of Muse Spark, its most powerful AI model.

Mark Zuckerberg is launching a new AI model and a vision for a more open form of superintelligence.

The social media giant unveiled Muse Glimmer on Monday and said it is an open-weight, agentic model small enough to run on a Mac or PC. Open-weight means users can download and customize the model to run it locally.

Meta also plans to release an open-weight version of Muse Spark, its most powerful AI model, soon, Zuckerberg added.

Meta said it trained Glimmer on Muse Spark using a process known as distillation, where a smaller model learns from a larger "teacher" model.

The Meta CEO also published a 6,500-word essay from Zuckerberg making a positive case for superintelligent AI.
