Meta open-sources Muse Gadgets hardware project
What happened
On 3 October 2026, TechCrunch reported that Meta launched the open-source project Muse Gadgets on Friday, offering open-source firmware and a Linux SDK that let developers build devices connecting to its personal AI agent Muse using low-cost hardware such as Raspberry Pi or ESP32. The project includes examples such as a colour e-ink display and an HDMI TV stick, and has opened a Discord channel. Later the same day, The Decoder reported that the project provides ESP32 development board firmware and a Linux SDK, letting hobbyists connect homemade devices to Meta's AI agent Muse, with the code under the Apache 2.0 licence and a Discord community for discussion. The two reports describe the project's contents largely the same way, with The Decoder adding that the code is licensed under Apache 2.0.
