Meta expands Muse agent with real-time avatar, glasses, Mac and commerce integrations

At Meta Connect, the company announced a broad set of upgrades to its new personal AI agent Muse — powered by the Muse Spark multimodal model — including a Muse Realtime Avatar for live video chats (the avatar is called “Jolly”), integration with Meta’s AI smart glasses, Mac desktop agentic capabilities, a dedicated Muse email address feature coming soon, and commerce/payment connectors with partners such as Shopify, Shop Pay, Stripe and PayPal plus retail partners including Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Walmart and Wayfair. Meta said Muse launched in early September, will run across users’ devices and accounts, and that some features should arrive “in the coming months,” while the company plans to subsidize initial token usage and later take a small fee on transactions.

Rabbit releases OS3, a cross‑platform agentic operating system usable without the R1

Rabbit announced OS3, a cloud‑backed, cross‑platform agentic operating system (also delivered as an R1 update) that can be accessed via browser, Telegram, iMessage, or a local agent node on Windows/Mac/Linux. The company says OS3 uses its DLAM (Direct Large Action Model) to execute local software tasks (including writing and debugging code), links up to five machines per account, and will be the software foundation for a forthcoming ‘cyberdeck’ device rather than an R2.
