Meta has announced the release of Muse Spark Open, its most capable open-weight AI model to date, which has been brought to Mac users through a partnership with Apple. The model can run on a desktop setup using two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios with the latest MLX framework. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg praised Apple CEO John Ternus for their collaboration.
Muse Spark Open boasts 816 billion total parameters, 42 billion active parameters, and a 1 million-token context window, making it ideal for coding and agentic work. Meta claims it excels at extended tasks, multi-step reasoning, and software engineering. The model is available on various API platforms and can be downloaded for free, with limited commercial use. While Apple and Meta have often been at odds, this partnership marks a surprising alliance.
