Meta launches Muse Glimmer as Zuckerberg calls for fewer US AI curbs to beat China

Meta has launched Muse Glimmer, a new open-weight artificial intelligence model designed to run on a single graphics card, as chief executive Mark Zuckerberg called for fewer US restrictions on open AI technology to help American companies compete with Chinese rivals.

The smaller model is designed to perform agentic tasks directly on Macs and PCs, rather than relying entirely on cloud-based computing. The launch comes as businesses increasingly seek cheaper AI systems that can run on their own devices.
