Meta said it will open-source the weights of its most powerful AI models while launching new models for consumer devices, intensifying competition with OpenAI and Anthropic. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Meta will release the weights of its latest Muse Spark 1.2 and introduce the Muse Glimmer family, designed to run directly on laptops and other devices.
The strategy aims to strengthen Meta’s position in open-weight AI, where Chinese companies such as Alibaba, DeepSeek and Moonshot have gained ground. Zuckerberg argued that U.S. restrictions on training data and AI development could disadvantage American open-source models and called for policy changes to help them compete globally.
Muse Glimmer also advances Meta’s push toward on-device AI, potentially reducing reliance on expensive cloud data centers while improving speed and lowering costs for consumers. The move comes as investors scrutinize Meta’s massive AI spending.
