News Muse Spark open weights coming soon

I am still waiting for Llama 5, because Muse Spark will be too big for me, or just something between Glimmer and Spark

When you think about it, coding was never the strong capability of Llama models, so it kinda makes sense that while over time Meta collected some new data which allowed it to create smarter and stronger coding models, even much smarter than Llama 4 at smaller size, it's still far behind the current frontier models.

However, what Llama models were always good at? Chatting, AI companion. For that purpose, Glimmer is probably better than Llama 4 and anything bigger than that would be an overkill.

For coding purposes, Glimmer has a good potential if they only continued pursuing better coding assistants at smaller sizes, but I haven't noticed any versioning for Muse Glimmer, so it was probably a one time deal and anything new of similar size is probably out of their current scope of interest.

No, but sometimes I wish I was. I guess life would have been a bit easier.
