Key facts
- Considering Friedman’s post about Home Link received nearly 30,000 views in a few hours, they're guessing those freebies have been claimed
- Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta’s Superintelligence Labs, said in a post on X that the company built a gadget called Muse Home Link
- Meta made 5,000 of these Home Links, in fact, and is giving them away for free to Muse subscribers while supplies last, according to Friedman
- On Friday, the company introduced Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that lets developers build their own hardware that connects to Muse
Summary
On Friday, the company introduced Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that lets developers build their own hardware that connects to Muse. Meta is providing open-source firmware (the low-level software that runs a device), and a Linux software development kit (SDK), along with a few project ideas to get users started. There don’t appear to be many limits, either. The company has also set up a Discord channel to support users.
