Meta wants to test an AI companion device internally next year and broaden its range of AI-powered smart glasses.
That's according to an internal memo from Alex Himel, Meta's Vice President of Wearables, which The Information was able to review. The strategy aims to stop the massive losses at the Reality Labs hardware division while pushing adoption of Meta's AI models and products.
Himel lays out three pillars in the memo: a new AI pendant, an expanded smart glasses lineup, and an enterprise offering called "Wearables for Work." The last one targets corporate customers who'd be more willing to pay for devices with industry-specific features.
The devices will run on Meta's latest AI model, Muse Spark, and an unreleased AI agent called "Hatch."
AI pendant headed for internal testing by spring 2027
