trymirai/Muse-Glimmer-30B-M

Mirai's Muse-Glimmer-30B Medium Quantization

A medium-sized, high-quality quantization of Muse-Glimmer-30B prepared for efficient local inference on Apple silicon.

Mirai-M is on the size-KL Pareto frontier: we found no checkpoint that is smaller while also having lower KL divergence.

Evaluation data mixture: 45% public agentic, 30% public SFT/long-context, 25% private chat data.

Quickstart

If you are on macOS, the easiest way is to install the mirai Homebrew package and then run the CLI:

brew install mirai
mirai --model trymirai/Muse-Glimmer-30B-M

Currently only Apple silicon inference is supported. If you want to build things from source, read this overview.

Method

Mirai Medium uses 4-bit asymmetric integer quantization with 4-bit zero points, bfloat16 scales, and group size 64. Block-diagonal Random Hadamard Transforms are used to reduce activation and weight outliers. The checkpoint was prepared with post-training quantization followed by quantization-aware distillation.

On our internal KL evals, this checkpoint is comparable to Unsloth's UD-Q4_K_XL GGUF.
