I know everyone hates on Meta but they just released an open weight 800B parameter model: Muse Spark Open.

Their smaller 30B parameter open model Muse Glimmer has also been out for a few weeks and is highly competitive with Qwen 3.8 27B.

So I hope we will start seeing more open models from US labs especially in the sub-20GB category which can be deployed on daily use machines.

The era of US-Canada being brothers in arms is over. I doubt US will be receiving any favors in the future without something in return. And if Canada chooses to expand their supply chains outside of the US, which they 100% should, there’ll be no coming back to a scale of trade as it exists today.
