Note: Muse Glimmer is currently available via initial support via Ollama’s MLX engine on Apple Silicon. Additional support and optimizations for Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, and other platforms will be available in the coming days.
Muse Glimmer, Meta’s newest open model and the first released by Meta Superintelligence Labs, is now available on Ollama. It’s a 30B multimodal model purpose-built for agent workloads that run locally with a 128K+ context length, released under the Apache 2.0 license.
With Ollama, you can now use Muse Glimmer to power coding agent applications such as Claude Code, Codex, Pi and more, as well as long-running personal assistants such as OpenClaw and Hermes.
Ollama’s MLX engine provides state-of-the-art performance on Apple Silicon for this model, with support for DFlash and image input.
To run Muse Glimmer locally, download the latest release of Ollama and run:
ollama run muse-glimmer:30b-mlx
Power coding agents locally #
To run Muse Glimmer on Apple Silicon with Claude Code, download Ollama and run:
ollama launch claude --model muse-glimmer:30b-mlx
For a lighter-weight coding agent, try Pi:
ollama launch pi --model muse-glimmer:30b-mlx
For personal assistant frameworks such as OpenClaw and Hermes, use:
ollama launch openclaw --model muse-glimmer:30b-mlx
ollama launch hermes --model muse-glimmer:30b-mlx
ollama launch
also works with Codex, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, and more. See all integrations.
Muse Glimmer also supports controllable reasoning strength: low
, medium
, high
, and xhigh
. Use high
or xhigh
for complex coding and agentic tasks, and lower strengths when speed matters more.
State-of-the-art performance on Apple Silicon with new DFlash and image input support #
Ollama’s MLX engine now supports DFlash, building on previous multi-token prediction (MTP) support. With DFlash, Muse Glimmer runs 1.5×–1.8× faster on Apple Silicon.
Muse Glimmer’s dedicated 1.8B-parameter perception encoder gives it native image understanding. With new image input support in the MLX engine, coding agents can use it for low-latency, back-to-back tool calling on tasks that require images, such as:
- Building websites or applications from a drawing or mockup
- Computer use applications powered by screenshots
- Reading documents, receipts, and charts
