@Ry Mac did a GREAT job simplifying things down. Recommend taking a look. Has his own group too! https://skool.com/buildmarketclose/about

TLDR: Muse Glimmer, 30b, dense, 24 GB VRAM. Meta's first track all the way back from 2023 is a huge part of the open source's community. We've got llama.cpp, ollama and so many more. Safe to say there were one of the firsts and at the time, the best at it. It is a 30b model, dense so it won't be the fastest. Good news is that they've optimized it for "consumer GPU's, aka a 3090 at least (24 GB VRAM). The 4 bit quantization runs on about 20 GB's of VRAM with 4 GB remaining for the KV cache, aka longer convos. Here's what Meta's trying to achieve in the end: https://www.instagram.com/reels/Db2vvaRxMmi/ The bench marks do speak for themselves, they claim it's the best model in it's class i.e. 30b params or so, but testing it for your use case is much more safer. https://research.meta.ai/blog/introducing-muse-glimmer-open-agentic-model

A great read with some links to better articles. https://huggingface.co/blog/MengkangHu/workflow-vs-agent If you are interested in Agentic workflows, and Agents as a whole understanding this theory is key.

Some in this group with too much time on your hands and have had some illness or disorder for not just reading but also commenting on my posts, have her me say more than once that that Jake is the Alex Hormozi of AI. Third-row, foam-finger, "just one more video at 1 AM while the whole house is asleep" levels of fandom. Then the ACTUAL Alex Hormozi drops a video titled "Why AI won't make you rich in 2026." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WttZ6b-KUP4 I clicked in with my chest out, ready to defend the family honor. Nine minutes later I'm sitting there like a kid who just found out Santa outsources and the tooth fairy are just the people who spawned you. Because the man's right. Dangit. His whole case, no chaser: AI is leverage. Real leverage. But it didn't repeal every OTHER kind of leverage that was already minting money before ChatGPT learned to talk. Capital. Media. A team. A sales process that actually closes. An offer that doesn't stink. AI showing up didn't delete a single one of those. Then he drops the part that made me put the cigar and whiskey down. (La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor and Noah's Mill in case you're wondering what to send me on my birthday). He asked his richest, oldest friends how much they personally touch AI in a day. Off camera, the honest answer was basically "bro, I don't." Their teams do. They don't. The guys with the yachts, gently breaking it to the AI guy that the robots aren't driving the boat. And this is where it kicks those of us who LIVE in this stuff square in the tokens. (I laugh at my own jokes, even when they're in writing, you gotta admit, this one was funny). He says most owners have AI-maxed their capacity, so now they crank out more, faster. Except the extra stuff they're automating was the low-priority junk. So we've built a gorgeous machine that does the wrong thing at the speed of light, and we're out here refreshing Stripe wondering why it's so quiet. His punchline is the one I want tattooed on the inside of my eyelids: the highest-leverage move in a business is making good decisions. Higher leverage than AI. Deciding what NOT to do. He said it's more efficient to decide something isn't a priority than to automate something that isn't a priority. Go ahead, read that twice. I did, out loud, to nobody in particular. And here it is again in case you didn't actually go back to read it.

If you’ve been quietly struggling with learning how to build or what to build, you’re not alone. I’ve seen the posts, and I know how frustrating it can feel when things don’t click. I wanted to try to do something about it. I built a custom AI Tutor that has the complete knowledge and teaching style of @Jake Van Clief and @Matthew Creamer’s Foundations courses. Think of Jake as the professor. This agent is your dedicated Teacher’s Assistant who sits with you one-on-one. See the new V2 Foundations Tutor here! https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/new-v2-foundations-tutor?p=979dbf61 Here’s why it’s different: • It walks you through every concept step by step, exactly as Jake outlines them • You’re not just chatting or watching videos. You’re actually building files and folders together in Claude • It checks your work in real time and won’t let you move forward until you truly understand • It speaks in their voice and follows their exact methodology This is the hands-on practice and patient guidance a lot of us have been missing. How to try it: 1. Grab the repo 2. Follow the README 3. Open the folder in Claude and let the tutor take over I’m very proud of how it turned out and I want this to help as many people as possible. We just crossed 30,000 members! Let’s make sure every single one of us has the support they need to actually master this stuff. If you try it, please drop a comment and let me know: • Did it help you understand a concept that was confusing before? • What worked well? • What could be better? I want your honest feedback so we can keep improving it together. I’d love it if this could turn into a proper community teaching tool we all build and evolve. Link in comments 👇
