Meta Open Sources Code for DIY Muse AI Gadgets
Meta has released open source code that lets anyone build their own gadgets powered by Muse, the company's AI agent. Open sourcing means Meta has made the underlying code public, so developers can use, modify and build on it freely. According to The Verge, Meta suggests several projects using this code: putting Muse on a color E Ink display (a low-power screen often used in e-readers) to show reminders, loading it onto an HDMI stick so Muse appears on any big screen with an HDMI port, and other creative setups. This move could let hobbyists and developers turn everyday screens and devices into AI-powered assistants without needing Meta's official hardware.
