Notable AI releases. Also sent as the weekly newsletter.
Muse Spark Open (Meta) ↗
Meta released the weights for Muse Spark Open, a multimodal model built for coding and agent work, with a 1M-token context window. You can download it from Hugging Face and other model hubs, or use it through API providers like OpenRouter, Groq, and Together AI. Meta says it can even run at home on two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studios.
Beam by Reflection ↗
Reflection launched Beam, its first open-weight model, built for coding, reasoning, and long-running agent tasks. The weights are on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license, so you can self-host and customize it, or use it through Reflection and its partners.
Jais 3 ↗
A new family of open Arabic-language models for writing and agent tasks, plus Jais Speech for transcribing Arabic. All of it is available on Hugging Face.
