Meta releases Muse Spark Open, a large open-weight MoE model

While it excels in certain areas like omniscient tasks and code generation, it lags in agentic evaluations and has a restrictive license for commercial use. Another open-weight model, Reflection Beam 1.0, has also been released with a 1M context window and Apache 2.0 license, showing strong performance in some benchmarks but also exhibiting weaknesses in others.
