Pricing conditions: The recorded OpenRouter / DeepInfra route lists $0.30/M input, $0.04/M cached input and $1.20/M output; other partner routes differ. No Meta Model API rate applies. Partner endpoints impose their own output limits. Self-hosting uses your own hardware.

What is Muse Glimmer 30B?

Keeping inference on your own hardware

Muse Glimmer is a 30-billion-parameter dense model distilled from Muse Spark. It accepts text and images and generates text, making it a candidate for local assistants that need to inspect screenshots or other visual material. The default context is 128K tokens. Longer-context support is runtime-dependent and should be tested on the deployment you intend to use.

Weights, licence and runtime

The downloadable weights use Apache License 2.0. Supported deployment options include vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp and ExecuTorch. Check the exact format, quantization and vision support in the selected runtime. A compatible text server does not by itself establish that the image encoder and chat template are configured correctly.

Local deployment and hosted partners

Glimmer is not served through Meta Model API. Its partner ecosystem includes inference hosts and local tooling, but a partner route has separate access conditions and billing. Open weights remove a download fee; they do not remove memory, hardware or operating costs. Compare a complete local workload before committing to a serving configuration.

Evaluating Muse Glimmer

Test a representative image-and-text task with the exact weight format and runtime you plan to deploy. Check fine text, multiple images and ambiguous screenshots. Monitor memory during the longest expected conversation and verify that tool arguments follow the required schema. Keep the prompt template and quantization fixed when comparing deployment choices.

Record the exact model identifier, deployment route and request settings with each result. Count complete runs, including rejected outputs, retries and tool calls. When the workflow creates files or code, open the files or execute the existing checks before accepting the result. A plausible first response can hide an incomplete final deliverable.

The specifications describe supported interfaces and request capacity. They do not establish a measured quality ranking or a latency guarantee for your account. SyncDev has not independently benchmarked this model. Choose a deployment after testing the languages, input formats and operating conditions that matter to your users.

Tasks and inputs

Muse Glimmer 30B is listed for Image-text-to-text, Text generation, Coding & Code Generation. It accepts text, image and produces text. Use the publisher’s input format and preprocessing for your chosen deployment.

Capacity and cost

Documented limits: 131.07K context. The listed route has starting rates of $0.30 input and $1.20 output per million tokens. Measure a completed task using the prompts, documents and tools your application will use. Include reasoning and retries in the result.

Choosing a deployment

The weights are downloadable under Apache-2.0. Check runtime support and size the complete model and working context for your expected concurrency.

Frequently asked questions

Download and serve the weights locally, or use a partner-hosted API. The recorded meta/muse-glimmer-30b API ID belongs to OpenRouter. Meta Model API does not host Muse Glimmer; partner routes have their own limits and prices.

These records share a directory category. Check the source card, output type and deployment requirements before treating a model as a replacement.
