Muse Glimmer as a local chat model

I think Muse Glimmer is slept on

I'm like you guys and am constantly experimenting with new models, seeing what they're all good at, how I can make use of them for certain projects and goals. I've been using Qwen 3.8 27b for minor coding work and it has been impressive. But with just regular chatting I have been impressed with Muse Glimmer. It seems to be able to have the ability to follow and hold good, deep and meaningful conversations without coming off as a typical chatbot. No repeated statements like "I hear what you're saying", "that sounds really deep..." none of what sounds generic or like it's blowing smoke up your ass. I was impressed with how natural it comes across just in natural conversation. I think it's one of the best "chat" models you could get right now as it's one of the only local models that doesn't feel like you're chatting with an AI when having a conversation. I'm thinking of finding a way to run both Qwen3.8 and Muse at the same time. It's fun to play with these things.
