Introducing Muse Glimmer
Meta has released Muse Glimmer, a 30B open-weights vision model under Apache 2.0.
Willison notes that Meta is positioning it for agentic task completion, reliable tool use, and multi-step reasoning. He tried it locally through LM Studio, including with his `llm-coding-agent` plugin on a fresh Datasette checkout. He also tested its vision capability by asking it to describe a pelican image, and it returned a detailed scene description. Simon Willison's note
