Meta Launches Open-Source Muse Gadgets for Developers

Meta introduced Muse Gadgets, an open-source project allowing developers to build custom hardware that connects to its AI agent, Muse. The company provides open-source firmware, a Linux software development kit (SDK), and project ideas like color e-ink displays or HDMI stick integration. Users can connect Muse to devices such as Raspberry Pi or ESP32 boards, and link it to displays, buttons, sensors, and actuators. Meta also created a Discord channel for community support. The company built a gadget called Muse Home Link, which connects Muse to home smart devices, and is giving away 5,000 units for free to Muse subscribers. This move aligns with Meta's strategy to expand Muse beyond a standalone chatbot, also targeting small businesses with Muse for Small Business and launching a new business unit, Meta Enterprise Platform, to push AI offerings to enterprises.

DJ Reinier Zonneveld launches AI music startup GasLab with $1M pre-seed

Electronic music DJ and producer Reinier Zonneveld has launched GasLab (Generative AI Solutions Lab), a GenAI music platform designed to provide transparent attribution and compensation for artists whose music is used in AI-generated tracks.
