META has expanded its Muse AI strategy by inviting the maker community to design hardware for Muse, launching Muse Gadgets alongside its Muse Charm demo at Connect. The initiative aims to move Muse beyond phones and wearables, positioning it as a platform for open hardware development. Meta’s move emphasises decentralised AI infrastructure, allowing third‑party developers and enthusiasts to integrate Muse’s on‑device capabilities into a range of devices and form factors.
Key details released include an ESP32 firmware that is open-sourced on GitHub (noting a prior reference to CVE-2025-27840) and a Linux Software Development Kit released under the Apache 2.0 licence. Meta also presented Muse Home Link, a small USB‑C powered demo receiver that acts as a bridge between Muse and a home network, enabling a remote Muse AI agent to converse with HTTPS‑capable smart devices such as TVs and speakers.
In addition, Meta plans to distribute 5,000 Muse Home Link units to Muse subscribers in the United States while stocks last. The company also opened a Discord channel to foster community collaboration on hardware tinkering and ideas, underscoring a strategy to source design ideas from the maker ecosystem while keeping Muse’s software infrastructure as a service-style core.
