Muse Glimmer 30B is a dense causal language model distilled from Muse Spark, designed for autonomous agent work. It combines multi-step reasoning, robust pattern-based tool invocation, and fault-recovery capabilities, and offers multimodal understanding via a ViT-G/14 perceptual encoder of roughly 1.8 billion parameters, supporting interleaved text and image inputs, a context window of over 131K tokens, and optional inference strength settings (from low to ultra-high). Muse Glimmer is trained on data in over 100 languages, performs strongly for its size on agent benchmarks including MCP Atlas, DeepSearch QA, Gaia2, and SWE-Bench Pro, and is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
