Meta has unveiled Muse Glimmer, a 30 billion parameter AI model that can run on consumer-grade hardware with minimal memory requirements. This move marks a shift towards open models, a departure from Meta's previous approach. The release is accompanied by a statement from Mark Zuckerberg advocating for fewer restrictions on US AI labs, potentially in response to the work of OpenAI and Anthropic. The announcement suggests that Meta is exploring new business models, including the potential sale of computing resources. This development may influence the future of AI research and development in the US.
