Meta Open‑Sources Muse Glimmer: Packing a 30B Model into 24 GB VRAM for Always‑On Local Agents

Meta’s Muse Glimmer is a 30‑billion‑parameter, open‑source dense model engineered to run continuously on consumer‑grade hardware with as little as 24 GB VRAM, using 4‑bit quantization and DFlash speculative decoding to retain multimodal, long‑context and agentic capabilities while achieving up to 233 tok/s throughput.
