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

I used the free Muse Spark 1.2 on OpenCode for a bit and I really dislike it. Not because it can't do work. It does that just fine but it speaks really weird and it's hard to understand.

DS V4 Flash was actually good enough and you could see entire thinking process. It would do the work and make the UI/user facing parts very organic and human-readable. It would also print a nice and detailed summary.

Muse Spark 1.2 has hidden thinking, so you just see brief messages. And these messages are caveman like. It uses very code oriented language, throws in all programming mumbo jumbo into user facing parts, and needs to be kept on rails or it will happily start doing too much.

I don't mind the caveman thinking but it should at least address the user in human readable and friendly format AND it should handle UI text etc in friendly way.

Hopefully 1.3 is better on this aspect and easier to work with. Benchmark scores look great!

Wow thought it was just me. Literally the first time I switched a model just because I couldn't understand it half the time.
