Meta introduced Glimmer this week, an open-weight AI model that anyone can download and run on their own hardware—marking a clear departure from Muse Spark, the company’s more powerful model that remains restricted behind its proprietary APIs. The release was accompanied by a letter from Mark Zuckerberg advocating that AI should be “for everyone” rather than controlled by a select group of labs. However, as the Equity hosts point out, that vision comes with a few important caveats.
