IT Home, October 16: On October 15 local time, Meta released the open-weight AI model Muse Spark Open. Meta officially claims that Muse Spark Open is the most powerful open-weight model from the United States to date.
Muse Spark Open employs a native multimodal architecture with a total of 816B parameters, including 42B activated parameters, and supports a context window of 1M tokens. Designed specifically for code generation and agent collaboration, the model demonstrates exceptional performance in handling long-range tasks, complex software engineering, and multi-step reasoning.
Thanks to the latest MLX framework, Muse Spark Open is the first model in its class to run locally on desktop using just two Apple M5 Ultra chips and a 512 GB RAM Mac Studio.
Starting today, developers can access Muse Spark Open via API platforms including Baseten, Fireworks AI, Groq, Modal, Nebius, OpenRouter, and Together AI; model weights are also now available for public download on Amazon SageMaker AI, Google Cloud Model Garden, Hugging Face, and Microsoft Foundry Models.
The model has been optimized for leading inference engines including SGLang, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Hugging Face Transformers, Apple MLX, llama.cpp, and Unsloth, and has undergone deep optimization for AMD, Apple, Intel, and NVIDIA chips. Developers can also easily perform secondary development and customization using the PyTorch framework.
Muse Spark Open underwent targeted safety alignment during the post-training phase. Benchmark results demonstrate that the model provides robust safety protections across all tested risk dimensions.
The model weights for this release are made available under the Muse Model License, which includes restricted commercial terms, and are free for the vast majority of developers to access and use.
