Meta Releases Scaled-Down AI Model Consumers Can Use at Home
The 30-billion-parameter model is available for free on Hugging Face and can run offline on consumer computers with enough memory.

- Following the company's decision to begin charging for developer access to Muse Spark 1.1 last month, Meta also intends to release weights for a version of the more powerful Muse Spark.
