The "Run a local model" chooser showed the pick and four more models. It now
lists every catalogue model that fits the Mac, and the install accepts every
listed row.
- MAX_ALTERNATIVES goes from 4 to 11, above what the catalogue holds. It stays
a bound: test/local-model-catalog.test.ts fails for a catalogue that outgrows
it, so nothing drops off the list unseen.
- New row `muse-glimmer:30b-q4_k_m` (Meta, Apache-2.0): SWE-bench Verified 76.0,
SWE-bench Pro 51.2, Terminal-Bench 2.1 51.7 on Meta's card. Its K/V cache is
the smallest of the 27B class, so it is the first model of that class a 32 GB
Mac holds: 21.2 GB at 65,536 tokens, 0.970 of the estimated budget. Figures
computed from its config.json and its GGUF header by the llamacpp rule (13
full-attention layers, 39 sliding-window layers of 2,048 tokens, no
prediction layer); the sliding-window cache rule was read again in llama.cpp
b12111 (src/llama-kv-cache-iswa.cpp). Never run on a Mac: `estimated`.
- What changes for a Mac: 32 GB is no longer `limited`. On an M1 Max or M2 Max
the pick is Muse Glimmer; on a base or Pro chip the dense model is slow and
the pick stays MiMo V2.6 9B, now with the small-pick note. Every other pick
is unchanged.
- The "set aside" list was read again at its sources on 2026-11-10 and gained
ripple-preview:65b (every build requires runtime 0.40.16, one above the pin),
Ornith 1.0 (runtime issue 16992), nemotron-3.5-super:120b, qwen3.5:4b,
qwen3-coder-next and the MLX and DFlash tags of Muse Glimmer.
- The header and the guide now say that runtime issue 16992 has one diagnosed
cause in the tool parser every Qwen-family row shares (a tool argument that
quotes a whole tool call is cut off; the fix is runtime PR 17021, open).
