Explained in plain English
What is 'open-weight' AI?
Meta's Muse Glimmer is 'open-weight', meaning its inner workings are transparent. Unlike 'closed-source' AI, where only the creator knows how it functions, open-weight models allow anyone to inspect, modify, and understand the code. This transparency is crucial for security and innovation, as more eyes can spot issues or suggest improvements.
