Meta tied a superintelligence manifesto to the release of Muse Glimmer, an open-weight AI agent model. The model is roughly 30-billion-parameter, and users can download it to run locally and customize it. This shifts the competition toward ownership and local control of agents rather than renting model access, while critics argue it also raises safety risks as autonomy spreads.
Meta released Muse Glimmer, an open-weights 30B dense multimodal agent model under Apache 2.0, and said Muse Spark weights will be released “soon” after Zuckerberg’s personal superintelligence essay. The Glimmer serving stack targets keeping the model under 20GB via quantization and is positioned for local on-device agent loops. This shifts Meta’s push toward broadly available personal superintelligence by expanding open, locally deployable AI options and adding an imminent follow-on weights release.
The article argues that Mark Zuckerberg’s AI “positive future” manifesto is internally inconsistent, treating AI safety as power sharing while the author stresses risks that require stronger control. It points to Meta’s planned $50 billion data center in Louisiana that is projected to use seven times as much energy as New Orleans. The result is a call for slower, more cautious deployment and a claim that governments and AI labs are increasingly pushing back against fast, widespread release plans.
