Muse-glimmer-30b really punches above its weight(s) for creative writing

The Muse-glimmer-30b model has shown impressive performance in creative writing, ranking alongside larger frontier models in EQ-Bench Creative Writing and Hemingway-bench benchmarks. Users have noted its ability to produce imitations of writing styles, such as David Sedaris', without plagiarism. The model was tested without a system prompt, leading to speculation that its performance might be further enhanced with one, especially given its training for agentic coding.
