| Muse Glimmer 30B | Llama 4 Maverick | |
|---|---|---|
| Price in/out ($/M) | $0.35 / $1.5 | $0.2 / $0.8 |
Glimmer is not a bigger Maverick, it is a smaller one, and that is the whole point. At 30B dense it runs on a single workstation, where Maverick needs real GPU infrastructure to self-host. Both ship open weights from Meta. The trade is context, 131K against Maverick's 1M, and hosted price, $0.35 / $1.5 against $0.2 / $0.8. If you self-host and hardware is your bottleneck, Glimmer changes what one machine can do and is built for autonomous agents rather than chat. If you need long context or the cheapest hosted token, Maverick still wins.
