Meta Platforms released Muse Glimmer, an open-weight artificial intelligence model designed for consumer-grade hardware.
The model runs on a single graphics card to perform agentic tasks on personal devices. This launch advances Meta’s strategy to compete with Chinese rivals through open-source development.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg urged U.S. policymakers to reduce restrictions on AI training data to maintain domestic leadership. Zuckerberg argued that current regulations disadvantage American open-source models compared to foreign competitors.
Meta shares rose 1% in pre-market trading following the announcement. The release positions the company to capitalize on the growing demand for efficient, small-scale AI systems within the communication services sector.
