Meta released open-source code so anyone can build their own Muse AI gadgets using ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pis, and is also giving away 5,000 of its own Muse Home Link device to control smart home devices. The company is essentially letting hobbyists turn the AI agent into whatever form factor they want.
- Meta open sourced SDKs for Muse so developers can load it onto off-the-shelf hardware like E Ink displays, HDMI sticks, or touchscreens
- The company manufactured 5,000 Muse Home Link gadgets and opened a waitlist for free units shipping this month
- Muse Home Link can control lights, TVs, printers, and other devices through community-built skills
Anthropic released a BLE protocol and ESP32 firmware that turns an M5StickC Plus into a desk companion for Claude, showing real-time animations and token stats. You can flash the device in minutes, pair over Bluetooth, and use its physical buttons to approve or deny Claude’s permission prompts without touching your computer.
- Anthropic open-sourced a BLE protocol and ESP32 firmware turning a $20-30 M5StickC Plus into a physical Claude companion with animations tied to activity states
- Physical buttons let you approve or deny Claude's permission prompts (like running bash commands) remotely via Bluetooth, without touching the computer
- The protocol is hardware-agnostic—any Nordic UART Service device works, with five alternative builds suggested (traffic light, gauge, e-ink display, CI/CD puck, vibrating wristband)
- Custom 96px GIF characters (up to 1.8MB, seven states) can replace the default desk pet animations
