Meta's paper behind, Muse Glimmer 30B, a 30B model distilled from Meta's larger Muse Spark can run AI agents on 1 consumer GPU

Open models small enough for consumer hardware are usually general-purpose and weak at long tool-using tasks. That leaves local agents well behind cloud-hosted ones.

Meta distilled Muse Glimmer, a dense 30B model, from its larger Muse Spark and trained it on synthetic agent runs in mock apps. Its 4-bit weights fit in under 20 GB, so it runs on a single RTX 5090.

On MCPAtlas, a multi-tool test, it scored 75.5 against 54.2 for Gemma4-31B and 62.5 for Qwen3.6-27B. It still trails Qwen3.6-27B on OSWorld-Verified, 65.9 against 75.6.
