Meta open sources Muse AI agent SDK for custom hardware
Meta is handing the keys to its Muse AI agent by open-sourcing the software needed to run it on custom hardware. Developers can now hook Muse into ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pi setups, effectively turning workbench scraps into personalized AI terminals. This moves Muse beyond a cloud-only interface into tangible, local devices like E Ink displays or HDMI sticks. It signals a shift toward decentralized, user-owned AI interactions rather than relying solely on proprietary apps.
