Meta just published the tech report for Muse Glimmer, its 30B open model built for agents that run on your own machine.
Apache 2.0, reads images, no API key.
Here's how to get it running locally without losing an hour 馃У
5/ Turn on the drafter for speed
The optional DFlash drafter (~1.6 GB) guesses 16 tokens at a time and the main model checks them. Same output, faster.
Meta's numbers: RTX 5090 went from 74.9 to 233.4 tok/s, M5 Max from 26.6 to 50.2.
5/ Keep it running in the background
On Linux or macOS, run t3 service install, then t3 service status to check it.
t3 update asks before restarting, because a restart cuts off running agent turns. On a Mac the service stops when you log out, so stay logged in.
3/ Change the default permissions
New threads start on Full access, so commands and file edits run with no prompts.
Fix it under Settings, General, New threads, Permissions. Pick Supervised, or Auto, where the provider's review approves routine stuff and asks about the rest.
T3 Code is everywhere tonight. It's a free, open-source app that runs the coding agents already on your machine: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Antigravity.
Bring your own subscriptions, steer from desktop, web or phone.
How to set it up without regrets 馃У
1/ Log in to your agents first
T3 Code doesn't come with its own model. It drives the CLIs you already pay for.
Set up at least one before you open it: codex login for Codex, claude auth login for Claude Code, agent login for Cursor's CLI.
4/ Say what you didn't test
The same doc tells AI to state plainly what couldn't be built, tested, or reproduced.
Put that line in your message too. "Didn't test on Windows" can save a reviewer an hour.
5/ Tag the AI, sign as yourself
The kernel asks for an "Assisted-by:" line naming the model and any analysis tools. An AI agent must never add Signed-off-by. Only a human can sign off.
You reviewed it, so you own it.
3/ Borrow the Linux kernel's template
Its guidance for AI coding assistants asks for a detailed message that covers the problem, the solution, and a Fixes tag pointing to the commit that caused the bug.
That works in any repo, not just the kernel.
A dev's post took off today: "AI assisted coding is okay, but wtf is your commit message AI generated?"
Fair point. A git log full of "Update logic and improve handling" helps nobody six months from now.
