Meta Connect 2026 Expands Muse Across Models, APIs and Devices

27 SEPTEMBER 2026·2 MIN READ·2 SOURCES·Official source plus independent coverage

At Meta Connect 2026, Meta paired a globally available model API and coding-focused Muse models with new glasses, VR hardware and a dedicated palm-sized Muse device.

Meta Connect 2026 Expands Muse Across Models, APIs and Devices

Key takeaways · 3

  • 01

    Developers can access Meta Model API globally and use Muse Code beyond beta for long-horizon engineering.

  • 02

    Meta’s device strategy offers Muse access through Ray-Ban products and a dedicated interface through Muse Charm.

  • 03

    Teams can test Meta VR experiences with v207 SDKs before the hardware’s planned spring 2027 arrival.

Muse Models Reach Developers

Meta said Muse Spark 1.3 brings frontier-level reasoning to complex coding and agentic workflows, while Muse Code has left beta for long-horizon engineering work. [1] The company also said new image, voice and open-weights models round out the family, and that Meta Model API is now generally available globally, giving developers choices over how, where and at what scale they build. [1]

Hardware Adds Muse Interfaces

Memeburn reported that Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) starts at $449 and is on sale now, Ray-Ban Meta Audio costs $349 and ships October 13, and Meta VR Glasses costs $1,299 with availability planned for spring 2027. [2] It also described Muse Charm, whose price was not announced, as a palm-sized device with a small touchscreen, front and rear cameras, 5G and a fingerprint sensor, designed so people who do not wear glasses can talk to Muse and show it what they see. [2]

What it means

Meta’s developer pitch spans software access and dedicated hardware: Muse Spark 1.3 and Muse Code target coding and agentic work, while Ray-Ban Meta devices and Muse Charm provide routes to the personal agent. The contrast is practical for builders: Meta Model API offers deployment choice, whereas Charm centers Muse in a standalone device for people who do not wear glasses. What the sources don't address: what Muse Charm will cost or how developers will build for it.

Meta is presenting Muse as both a model family for coding and agentic workflows and an assistant reached through multiple device formats. Practitioners should evaluate the API, model capabilities and hardware interfaces separately because the available implementation details differ across products.
