Meta Open-Sources Muse Gadget SDKs; U.S. Home Link Ships in October

Muse just got a hardware attach path: open peripheral SDKs plus a subsidized home bridge for U.S. subscribers.

Meta’s Muse Gadgets page says Muse gadgets are open-source devices builders assemble themselves — program an off-the-shelf ESP32 board or a Raspberry Pi / Linux box with Meta’s SDKs, then connect Muse to displays, buttons, sensors, and actuators. The device SDKs and firmware are open source under Apache 2.0, provided as-is. Muse Home Link, a Meta-made device that puts Muse on home Wi-Fi to reach compatible local HTTP devices, is free with an active Muse subscription in the United States only, limit one per subscriber, ships in October, first come, first served. The Verge (Jay Peters, October 2, 2026) confirms the open-source SDK framing and, citing Nat Friedman of Meta Superintelligence Labs, reports Meta manufactured 5,000 Home Links.

What is on the product page versus what is attributed

Apache 2.0 SDK/firmware status, ESP32 and Linux paths, and Home Link eligibility/ship month are from gadgets.muse.ai. The 5,000-unit figure is Friedman via The Verge, not a number on the product page this desk inspected. Prior Connect coverage of Muse on glasses and Charm remains a separate product-line thread; this piece is the DIY/SDK + Home Link drop.
