Muse-Glimmer-30B Claude Code

Meta's Muse-Glimmer-30B running locally on Apple Silicon with Claude Code

Muse-Glimmer-30B Claude Code project banner

This project runs Meta's Muse-Glimmer-30B on the hardware Meta benchmarked, a MacBook Pro with an M4 Max and 36GB of memory, tests the published performance claims, and connects the model to Claude Code so a coding agent runs with no cloud service.

llama.cpp is built from source for day-one Muse-Glimmer support, then the 15.9GB 4-bit quantisation and Meta's dflash draft model are downloaded and served locally. The model is benchmarked with and without speculative decoding.

Measured on the M4 Max, generation runs at about 22 tokens per second on a fresh context and about 7 tokens per second around 29,000 tokens deep, with prompt prefill at about 110 tokens per second. dflash speculative decoding measured between 0.9x and 1.0x overall. Through Claude Code, the first response took about four minutes and later cached turns about one minute.

The repository includes the benchmark script and raw results, the server launcher, the LiteLLM configuration for Claude Code, and an HTTP agent harness.
