  "summary": "Meta and Apple are collaborating to make Muse Spark Open easier to run locally on clustered Mac Studio systems, according to the companies. CNBC reports that Meta worked with Apple to enable the model to run on M5 Ultra Mac Studios, which allows users to pair two to four Studios to perform agentic work or coding. Quartz notes that this collaboration aims to allow developers to run the model on their own Mac Studio machines rather than in the cloud.\n\nMuse Spark Open is a coding-optimized, open-weight reasoning model from Meta that utilizes a mixture-of-experts architecture with 816 billion total parameters, featuring 42 billion active parameters per token. According to AWS Machine Learning, the model was trained on developer workflows like long debugging sessions and multi-file refactors, and it supports a context window of 1 million tokens. The model accepts text, images, documents, audio, and audio-video as inputs and returns text.\n\nAWS Machine Learning also states that the model is available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart via two variants: BF16 and NVFP4 quantized.",
