Overview
- Meta announced the open‑source release Friday, publishing ESP32 firmware, a Linux SDK, a GitHub repository and developer docs so makers can embed the Muse AI agent into custom hardware.
- Developers can obtain API tokens from gadgets.muse.ai and use off‑the‑shelf ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pi‑class Linux devices to add screens, buttons, sensors, audio and other peripherals to Muse.
- Meta built a USB‑C Muse Home Link as an example, manufactured 5,000 units and is offering them free to Muse subscribers with shipping expected within weeks.
- The project carries a clear warning to hobbyists to proceed at their own risk and inherits unresolved questions about security, platform integration and wider availability outside the U.S.
- The release follows Muse’s September debut and Meta’s enterprise push and could move the assistant from phones into homes if developers, hardware supply and partner acceptance scale up.
