Summary

Meta has released Muse Spark Open, an 816-billion-parameter open-weight omnimodal mixture-of-experts model with 42.7 billion active parameters, a one-million-token context window, and support for text, image, video, and audio inputs with text output. Co-trained with Muse Code for coding-agent workflows, it can support tasks such as screenshot-based UI debugging, converting bug videos into reproducible tests, and voice-driven programming, while also integrating with third-party agents including OpenCode, Pi, and Deep Agents Code. Meta-reported benchmarks position it competitively against frontier models in routine agentic coding and knowledge-work tasks, though the comparison uses each vendor’s own agent framework and suggests it may require more guidance on large multi-file changes than some closed competitors. Its architecture uses compressed MoE layers to reduce model size, inter-GPU communication, and memory demands, alongside a hybrid attention system of local and global layers that reportedly reduces KV-cache memory by about 3.7 times at 128K context. Baseten is offering the model through OpenAI-compatible Model APIs and Dedicated Inference using an NVFP4 checkpoint that reduces weight storage from roughly 1.6 TB to 540 GB, allowing the model to run on a single four-GPU GB300 node and reserve more memory for concurrent long-context agent sessions.
