Meta releases open-source Muse Gadgets firmware and SDKs so developers can put its Muse agent in their own hardware

Meta on 2 October opened Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that lets developers build their own devices that connect to its Muse agent. The project page offers two device SDKs, one for ESP32 boards and one for Linux machines such as a Raspberry Pi, plus firmware published as source. Both are under the Apache 2.0 licence. “Muse gadgets are open source devices you build yourself,” the page says. The code sits in Meta's facebookincubator organisation on GitHub.

Meta's own example device is the Muse Home Link, which connects Muse to a home Wi-Fi network so the agent can reach compatible devices, or anything with a local HTTP API. The project page says it is free with an active Muse subscription, in the United States only, one per subscriber, first come, first served, and ships in October.

Engadget reported the release on 2 October, citing a post by Nat Friedman, who leads product for Meta's superintelligence labs, and listed devices Meta suggests builders might make, such as an E Ink display, an HDMI dongle for a television or a small touchscreen accessory.

The move takes Muse, which Meta launched as a paid agent in September, off the phone and into hardware that anyone can build. It follows Muse's launch and the Connect devices the Switchboard has already covered, and is separate from the open release of the Muse Spark Open model on 16 October.
