Compared by CEO Mark Zuckerberg to a keychain, the device is called the Muse Charm, and it bears a screen featuring its cuddly-looking Muse AI agent, giving it the air of a Tamagotchi.

- The main camera has two lenses which both use 48-megapixel sensors, and the ultrawide is the same found on the 18 Pro

Summary
While AI has made plenty of inroads on people’s phones and computers, it’s largely failed in dedicated devices. “Hardware is hard” is a tech industry mantra. OpenAI is working with famed ex-Apple designer Jony Ive and plans to ship no earlier than February 2027, per a public filing. While OpenAI’s hardware didn’t make an appearance at this year’s DevDay, the company debuted a major new AI agent platform called Dots, complete with personalizable colored blobs with eyes. Meta, meanwhile, is more directly tying its hardware to the recently released Muse agent. Both OpenAI and Meta have likely learned from other companies’ failed hardware rollouts, and their resulting strategy seems to be soft-launching AI agents before hard-launching the hardware.
