A quick (very quick) post about Meta Muse Glimmer. Absolutely awful. Thick as a brick. OK, marketed as an agentic platform but when loaded you should expect some intelligence. I didn’t see any of that. It pretty well screwed up every task I gave it. Prompt, re-prompt and on and on.

It needed a ridiculous amount of prompting and re-prompting for nigh on every task. Skills (what’s that?) For what is promoted as an agentic model, it failed. Miserably in most cases. Ask it do something, you know, like research (even with with skills loaded in Hermes) awful. I mean awful.

Quick review I promised and quick review I delivered.

Awful. (I like that word, don’t often use it), apologies in advance – shit! Well what do you expect from Facebook?

But let not the views of one man put you off. Try it, it’s free. You may get better results.

No you won’t. It’s shit.

But I did try qwen3.6-35b-a3b

Solid. Did what I asked every time until it got stuck in a downward spiral. Again and again.

It should be renamed qwen-Loopy. If you’re not sat at your desk then don’t run it because it needs rescuing like every 30 minutes.

But every man and his machine to his own. I’ve got a128Gb Strix Halo setup so be interested to know what other peoples results are.
