Distilling Muse Glimmer to 14B, looking for the right contact for a small compute extension

#66

Hi Meta Muse team,

I’ve been experimenting with distilling Muse Glimmer into a smaller local agent model.

The result so far is Kvist-14B, an open 14B student of Glimmer aimed at running on much smaller hardware.

The question I’m trying to answer is pretty simple:

How much of Glimmer survives when you cut the model size this far, and where does it start to fall apart?

I’ve published the model, training record, checkpoints and results, including the bad ones.

I’d like to push the experiment further, roughly toward 1B training tokens, but compute is starting to become the limiting factor.

Is there anyone at Meta I should talk to about a small amount of compute support for something like this?

I’m not looking for a large grant. Just enough compute to run the next stage properly and publish the results and model openly.
