Okay but Muse Glimmer 30B is one of the best small open weight models today, and IMO the best from a US lab (only real comparison is Gemma4 dense right now).

Totally fine with open weight, since other people can provide it and Meta isn’t making money. I’d use an AWS-hosted version.

  • Zuck said Muse Spark 1.2 should be getting open weights "soon" on a tweet from a few weeks ago.

    The problem inference providers will not be able to get anywhere near the contributor pricing.

I am finding Poolside's a decent model.-

  • By their own benchmarks it is about 10% lower scoring than Qwen 3.6 35b-a3b, but I've added it to my list. Always looking for MoE to compare to it so we can squeeze more out of our local LLM system.
