Meta is developing a dedicated hardware device called Muse Charm for its new Muse AI agent, featuring a screen, fingerprint sensor, and camera.
Meta reportedly ready to launch smart glasses without camera, focusing on audio and AI.
Meta and Apple collaborated to enable the 816B-parameter Muse Spark Open model to run on two M5 Ultra Mac Studios via MLX. The October 15 announcement follows the release of version 1.3 and the Muse AI agent in September. For engineers, this opens the door to running large open-weight models locally, though independent benchmarks and pricing details are still needed.
Meta showed the Muse Charm, a standalone AI gadget with a 2-inch OLED, camera, fingerprint sensor, and built-in 5G. It can interact with other Charms. Only a few exist; the finish isn't finalized. Expected to ship in December, pricing like a smartwatch, but carrier fees unknown.
Meta officially launched the camera-free Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses (codenamed Luna) at Connect 2026, priced at $349 with October availability. The six-mic, speaker-equipped glasses drop the camera to address privacy backlash, but always-on audio raises new questions.
