Meta has announced Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that lets hobbyists build their own AI hardware. It includes firmware for ESP32 boards and a Linux SDK：https://github.com/facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk to connect homemade devices to Meta's AI agent Muse：https://the-decoder.de/metas-muse-agent-gibt-jedem-nutzer-einen-vollwertigen-cloud-computer-mit-ubuntu-linux/. The code：https://github.com/facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk is Apache 2.0 licensed, with a Discord community：https://discord.gg/3bhjCkZdd6 discussing the project.
The open-source approach likely serves a second purpose, too. By watching what the community builds, Meta can learn which form factors people actually want, since nobody has settled on what AI hardware should look like. Apple：https://the-decoder.com/apple-brings-a-fully-revamped-siri-built-on-googles-gemini-but-not-to-the-eu/ and OpenAI：https://the-decoder.com/openais-first-hardware-product-is-a-screenless-ai-speaker-designed-to-feel-alive/ are both working on their own devices, while Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses：https://the-decoder.com/always-on-ray-ban-meta-glasses-powered-by-openclaw-speed-up-everyday-tasks-in-new-study/ are arguably the most successful AI gadget on the market so far.
