Meta open-sources Muse SDK to let users build custom AI gadgets

Meta released open-source code and SDKs that let users build their own Muse AI gadgets using off-the-shelf hardware such as ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pi devices. The company describes Muse gadgets as "open source devices you build yourself," and provides examples including loading Muse onto a color E Ink display to show reminders, adding it to an HDMI stick to display Muse on a larger screen, or integrating it with a small touchscreen to create a DIY version of Meta’s Muse Charm. Meta cautions users to "proceed at your own risk" when building and deploying these devices.

Meta also announced a limited-run Muse Home Link gadget that uses community-built skills to perform home automation tasks such as turning on lights, controlling a TV, or sending a document to a printer. The company states it manufactured 5,000 Muse Home Link units and is accepting waitlist signups for distribution this month. Meta Superintelligence Labs’ Nat Friedman is cited in the report regarding the quantity of devices produced.
