Meta and Apple Bring Muse Spark Open to Macs
Meta and Apple release Muse Spark Open, an open-weight AI model for local deployment on Macs, with 816 billion parameters.
The model features 816 billion parameters and is built for complex coding, multimodal tasks, and autonomous AI workflows, giving developers another option for running advanced AI without relying entirely on cloud-based services.
Running Muse Spark Open locally requires approximately one terabyte of unified memory across high-end machines, making the setup expensive and placing it beyond the reach of most individual developers.
The partnership highlights a growing push to make advanced AI models more accessible for local deployment, while exposing the hardware costs that still limit who can benefit from them.
