Muse Glimmer 30B
About this model
Muse Glimmer 30B is an AI model from Meta, made available through the API on August 9, 2026. It can read up to 131,072 tokens in one request, roughly 246 pages of text, and write up to 117,964 tokens in a single answer. Besides text, it accepts images as input.
Through the API it costs $0.35 per million input tokens and $1.50 per million output tokens. Its pricing sits in the middle of the market.
It supports extended reasoning: it can "think" step by step before answering, which helps on maths, code and complex questions. It can call tools and functions, so developers can connect it to search, databases or other software. Its weights are openly published (meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B), so it can also be downloaded and run on your own hardware.
