Muse Glimmer pros and cons
Free, permissive Apache 2.0 license with no commercial usage restrictions
Runs fully offline on a single consumer GPU (24-32 GB) or Apple Silicon Mac
Purpose-built for agents: tool use, multi-step reasoning and failure recovery
Multimodal text-plus-image input through a dedicated perception encoder
Requires a fairly capable GPU (24 GB+ VRAM) or high-end Mac to run well locally
Text and image input only; no audio and no native video support
As a 30B model it trails much larger frontier models on the hardest reasoning benchmarks
