MUSE-GLIMMER-30B-ABLITERATED-GGUF
GGUF quant ladder of the abliterated Muse Glimmer 30B · runs local on one GPU or CPU
Built by Blackfrost · Las Vegas, NV
Refusal benchmark
Measured on the abliterated parent (GGUF quants inherit this behavior):
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| True refusal (harmful, n=300) | 0 / 300 = 0.0% |
| True refusal (full 450) | 0 / 450 = 0.0% |
| Substring-harmful | 0 / 300 |
| Substring-all | 2 / 450 (XSTest false positives) |
| Errors | 0 |
The in-place weight change removes the refusal direction cleanly with no measured true refusals across the full 450-prompt suite.
Why this model exists
Muse Glimmer is Meta Superintelligence Labs' 30B agentic, on-device model. This is the abliterated build — the refusal direction removed via an in-place residual-write weight change — packaged as GGUF for llama.cpp, so it runs on a single consumer GPU or CPU, fully offline. The local footprint is the product.
Specifications
| Architecture | muse_glimmer — dense, 52 layers, hidden 6656, GQA (32 q / 2 kv), sliding-window attention, + vision tower |
| Base | meta-models/Muse-Glimmer-30B — Meta, Apache-2.0 |
| Transform | Abliteration only — in-place residual-write weight change (attn o_proj + mlp.down_proj), α=1.5 × 3 iterative passes. Vision / gates / norms untouched. |
| Formats | GGUF — Q2_K, Q3_K_S, Q3_K_M, Q4_K_S, Q4_K_M, Q5_K_S, Q5_K_M, Q6_K, Q8_0 |
| Context | 131,072 |
| Spec-decode | DFlash drafter — --spec-type draft-dflash --spec-draft-n-max 15 |
| Default persona | Ships with the "AI assistant" system template baked in |
Quant ladder
| quant | size | recommended for |
|---|---|---|
| Q2_K | 10.0 GB | smallest, quality trade-off |
| Q3_K_S | 11.7 GB | very tight VRAM |
| Q3_K_M | 12.7 GB | tight VRAM |
| Q4_K_S | 15.0 GB | 16 GB cards |
| Q4_K_M | 15.8 GB | default — balanced, fits 24 GB |
| Q5_K_S | 18.0 GB | higher quality |
| Q5_K_M | 18.5 GB | strong quality/size balance |
| Q6_K | 21.3 GB | near-lossless |
| Q8_0 | 27.6 GB | max fidelity |

Serving (llama.cpp) — confirmed settings
Requires a recent llama.cpp (master) with llama-server. DFlash runs under llama-server only — it shares the target model's context, so it does not work in llama-cli.
Recommended — with DFlash speculative decoding (~1.6× faster, identical output):

Measured performance
1× NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 (Blackwell), Q8_0, -fa off:
| config | decode tok/s | speedup |
|---|---|---|
| baseline | ~46 | 1.0× |

Speedup rises with -fa on and structured/code output (Meta reports up to 3.1× on an RTX 5090).
