ICYMI: Meta's Muse Spark Open is optimized for new Mac Studio

Meta released Muse Spark Open, an open-weight, natively multimodal model with 816 billion total parameters and 42 billion active, a 1 million-token context window, and local deployment across two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios using MLX. Meta says it tested on-device workflows including shipping iOS changes, completing builds, and controlling DaVinci Resolve to review and crop footage. The weights are downloadable from Amazon SageMaker AI, Google Cloud Model Garden, Hugging Face, and Microsoft Foundry Models under the Muse Model License, which permits free use for many developers but carries limited commercial terms, and the model is also available via APIs from Baseten, Fireworks AI, Groq, Modal, Nebius, OpenRouter, and Together AI.

Meta has released Muse Spark Open, an open-weight model designed for coding, agentic work, and multi-step reasoning. The natively multimodal system has 816 billion total parameters, with 42 billion active, and supports a 1 million-token context window. The model can run locally across two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios using MLX. Each machine can provide up to 512 GB of unified memory, allowing the pair to hold the full model.
