How much of this is verified

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

Muse Glimmer 30B ranks #116 of 224 on the public leaderboard with a score of 52.38/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.

Muse Glimmer 30B is a open weight model with a 131K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Meta publishes the full-precision and two 4-bit Muse Glimmer 30B checkpoints under Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. The K-Quant-17GB release targets 24 GB hardware, while K-Quant-Dynamic targets 32 GB; Meta also ships a DFlash speculative-decoding drafter and a dedicated perception encoder.

14 of 402 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Instruction Following at #21, while its lowest eligible position is Coding at #62. a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does Muse Glimmer 30B perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Muse Glimmer 30B ranks #116 out of 224 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 52.38/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 14 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is Muse Glimmer 30B good for coding and programming?

Muse Glimmer 30B ranks #62 out of 141 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 52/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Muse Glimmer 30B good for mathematics?

Muse Glimmer 30B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Muse Glimmer 30B good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

Muse Glimmer 30B ranks #53 out of 137 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 51.7/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Muse Glimmer 30B good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

Muse Glimmer 30B ranks #27 out of 34 eligible models for multimodal and grounded tasks, with a public category score of 48.9/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Muse Glimmer 30B good for instruction following?

Muse Glimmer 30B ranks #21 out of 41 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 84.5/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is Muse Glimmer 30B open source?

Muse Glimmer 30B is an open-weight model from Meta. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does Muse Glimmer 30B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Muse Glimmer 30B currently has 30 source-displayable rows across 402 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Muse Glimmer 30B?

Muse Glimmer 30B has a reported context window of 131K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.

Last updated August 22, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.
