Meta and Apple release Muse Spark Open model for Mac Studio

Check your desk if you run heavy software in your office. Meta just released Muse Spark Open, which it calls the most capable US Open model to date. The system is natively multimodal with 816 billion total parameters and a 1 million token context window. It is built specifically for heavy coding and complex software tasks. Meta optimized this model to run directly on the Apple Mac Studio powered by the M5 Ultra chip. Apple chips use a unified memory architecture that lets the integrated graphics processor use up to 512 gigabytes per machine. Two Mac Studio computers together can hold the entire model and behave like a single supercomputer with a terabyte of memory. Meta tested the setup running entirely on-device to fix software bugs and drive video editing software frame by frame. Apple and Meta worked together for several months to make this local desktop setup possible after years of fierce competition. Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang said they are excited for the two tech giants to be playing nice again. Daniel Gross, a former Apple executive, played a major role in getting the companies to cooperate. Muse Spark Open is available right now through Hugging Face for local desktop use. For your business, this means powerful artificial intelligence can now run entirely on local office hardware without sending your company data to outside cloud servers.
