Introducing Muse Glimmer (by way of) Meta are again within the open weights recreation! Muse Glimmer is a model new 30B mannequin below a clear Apache 2.0 license (a step up from the janky Llama licenses of previous).
They declare to have optimized it for precisely the form of issues I am on the lookout for in an area mannequin:
Finish-to-end Agentic Process Completion. Muse Glimmer achieves robust success charges on full-task benchmarks together with DeepSearch QA, MCP-Atlas, 𝛕-Bench and SWE-Bench, which measure its potential to work inside scaffolds, write and debug code, and resolve multi-turn requests from begin to end.
Dependable Software Use. The mannequin handles a variety of operate calls, invoking instruments with exact schemas all through prolonged workflows.
Multi-Step Reasoning. Muse Glimmer chains reasoning over lengthy horizons, sustaining coherent plans throughout advanced, prolonged workflows. […]
Here is a pelican which I generated utilizing LM Studio’s 18.16 GB model of the mannequin:

I additionally tried it out with my llm-coding-agent plugin, operating towards a recent checkout of Datasette with the immediate:
how does auth work?
Here is the response, on the finish of an extended transcript exhibiting the entire software calls it made to discover the codebase. I ran this utilizing llm-lmstudio with this patch utilized to improve it for compatibility with LLM 0.32.
I actually like this measurement of mannequin, as a result of if a machine has 32 GB of RAM or extra (mine has 128GB) it leaves loads of area for operating different purposes on the similar time.
Glimmer is a imaginative and prescient mannequin, so I requested it to explain this picture:
llm -m lmstudio/meta/muse-glimmer -a https://static.inaturalist.org/pictures/714731804/giant.jpg ‘describe picture’

Here is what I acquired again:
The {photograph} reveals a rocky, breakwater-style shoreline on an overcast day with a clean, grey physique of water and a faint dock/pier line within the soft-focused background.
Within the foreground two giant brown pelicans, Pelecanus occidentalis, are perched on the jumbled gray-white stones. They’ve the species’ attribute lengthy, down-curved yellow-orange payments with a big throat pouch, lengthy slender necks and mottled brown-gray plumage on the again and wings. The pelican on the left is turned barely towards the digicam and seems to be preening or resting its invoice towards its chest; a pale, whitish patch is seen on the crown and nape and a small crest of feathers is raised. The pelican on the appropriate faces principally ahead/proper, its head up, invoice pointing down and to the appropriate, with the identical pale head markings and the barred, darker wing feathers clearly seen.
Scattered among the many rocks across the two pelicans are a number of a lot smaller darkish birds — gulls/tern-like birds in muted brown-gray plumage. One darkish hen sits on the far left on a rock, one other brownish hen stands to the appropriate of the right-hand pelican, a grayish hen with a reddish invoice is within the decrease proper foreground, and an extra small darkish hen is on the excessive proper fringe of the body.
The general gentle is flat and subtle, giving the water and sky a muted, virtually monochromatic palette that contrasts with the textured rock and the detailed feathering of the pelicans. The composition locations the 2 massive birds because the dominant topics, framed towards the calm water and the low, rocky perch.
