Meta Opens Muse to Hardware Hackers
Meta opens its Muse Gadgets platform with open-source firmware and a Linux SDK so developers can build custom AI hardware, betting on trust-based transactions rather than advertising.

š„ What happened
Meta launched Muse Gadgets, an open-source project letting developers build custom hardware that connects to its Muse AI agent. Meta ships firmware, a Linux SDK, and starter ideas like an e-ink display or an HDMI stick. It's also giving away 5,000 USB-C Muse Home Link devices to subscribers.
š” Why it matters
Muse just went from chatbot to platform ā running on Raspberry Pis and ESP32 boards. This is a direct shot at Alexa and Google Home: Meta wants to own the device layer before rivals anchor their agents there.
ā” Our take
Smart move. Win the hardware hackers, win the next device generation. But a Discord channel is not an ecosystem.
