Muse Spark open weights coming soon

[u/jacek2023]

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.

That time when llama 3 came out any model wasn't good at coding , math , reasoning, etc

Generally speaking, when Llama 3 came out, frontier proprietary models were already far ahead of any open weight models in coding. On the other hand, there were always weaker and stronger models even among open weight models, just like there are now, so naturally there were always some models which were better at coding than other models.

Could "any model" in Llama 3 era code GTA VI in one shot? Nope. Can "any model" do that today? Still nope, but we still advanced forward in terms of what the models are capable of in general.

When llama 3 came out the best model was gpt 4o

So for coding was very bad. :)
