Meta’s handheld AI gadget, the Muse Charm, will recognise and interact with other nearby units when it launches later this year. This feature stems from a report by Bloomberg that expands on details teased during the company’s Meta Connect keynote on Wednesday. The device houses the Muse AI agent and includes a built-in 5G modem, meaning users do not need to connect to Wi-Fi to operate it. It also comes with a two-inch OLED touchscreen, a new operating system, and a fingerprint sensor to begin interaction.
The ability for multiple charms to communicate locally suggests a shift towards peer-to-peer functionality without relying on central servers. This architecture could reduce latency and data costs for users who frequently move between networks. It also implies that the hardware is designed for scenarios where internet connectivity is unreliable or unavailable.
- Launch is scheduled for later this year
- Requires no Wi-Fi connection for charm-to-charm interaction
- Uses a dedicated 5G modem for standalone operation
