Muse Spark is a large language model (LLM) developed by Meta through its Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). It was introduced in April 2026 and launched as Muse Spark 1.1 on July 9, 2026. It is the first model in Meta's Muse family and is designed for multimodal reasoning, coding, and AI-assisted software development. It is also used for other Meta AI products and services. It can handle a million tokens of context. [1]
An open-weight version of the model, Muse Spark Open, was released on October 15, 2026, and is a mixture of experts model consisting of 816 billion total parameters and 42 billion active parameters. [2] Meta released a smaller open-weight large language model, Muse Glimmer, on August 10, 2026.
Meta released Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent, alongside Muse Spark 1.2 on August 5, 2026. Powered by the model, it can write and debug code, complete longer software development tasks, and run multiple sub-agents concurrently. [3] Muse Spark 1.2 was also made available through the Meta Model API and OpenRouter.

Muse Glimmer is an open-weight multimodal large language model developed by Meta released on August 10, 2026. The 30-billion-parameter causal language mode combines a large language model with a dedicated perception encoder and supports both natural language and visual inputs. It was designed for local agentic and coding workloads, and can be run offline on a 24 GB consumer GPU.[ citation needed ] The model weights are distributed under the Apache License 2.0. [7] [8]
