Muse Glimmer
Vendor version: muse-glimmer-30b (as of 29 August 2026)
The compact tier of Meta's Muse line, successor to the Llama line: distilled from the larger sibling model and published under a free licence, that is, without a user ceiling and without a vendor consent reservation. It is enough for summaries, memos and correspondence on your own material and makes do with modest hardware. The professional-secrecy position follows directly from that: the chain is closed in dedicated operation on reserved hardware in Germany, where only the data centre operator can still participate and is bound via section 203(4) of the German Criminal Code - and when running on your own hardware, where the disclosure question under section 203 does not arise.
Everything section 203 requires is settled, including the provider's confidentiality undertaking. You do not have to clarify anything further.
What it is good for
- Apache 2.0 without a user ceiling - the Llama licence had a threshold of 700 million active users
- Runs at 30 billion parameters on a single graphics card, that is, in dedicated operation
- Tool and function calls are part of the model, not retrofitted
Where it stops
- Only released in August 2026 - there is no solid practical experience for firm use yet
- No legal fine-tuning; references and deadlines remain subject to the practitioner's review
- Performance below the large cloud models, particularly on long chains of argument
Routes examined
The same model, procured differently, is a different legal position. What is examined per route is the contract chain, not the model.
| Route | Section 203 status | Version on this route |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated instance in Germany, operated by Gosign | covered | - |
| Self-operated at the firm (open weights) | covered | - |
The conditions behind a conditional status - which piece is open on which route and who closes it - are set out in the full matrix in the German catalogue, and we go through them in the conversation. The German page for Muse Glimmer carries the sources with their retrieval dates.
