Meta brings Muse Spark Open to Apple’s Mac Studio
The 816-billion-parameter model is designed to run locally on Mac computers, with Meta making it available through API platforms and downloads.
Key takeaways
- Muse Spark Open has 816 billion parameters and a 1 million-token context window.
- Developers can run the model locally on Apple computers, including Mac Studio systems.
- Meta is offering the model through API platforms and for download.
Meta and Apple are working to make Meta’s Muse Spark Open AI model run locally on Apple computers. Meta says the 816-billion-parameter model is its most capable open-weight release under a license allowing limited commercial use.
The model has a 1 million-token context window, according to TechCrunch, and is built for coding and agent-based tasks. Meta says developers can download it for Apple silicon without extra configuration; the company is also making it available through API platforms.
Apple and Meta said users can pair two to four Mac Studio computers to run the model for tasks such as coding and video analysis. The companies said local processing keeps the work on users’ machines rather than in the cloud.
Running it locally requires substantial memory, and CNBC reported that the setup calls for Apple’s M5 Ultra chip. Meta said it had tested the model with its Muse Code coding terminal and for reviewing and cropping video in DaVinci Resolve.
