Meta has open sourced code and SDKs for Muse, its AI agent, allowing developers and hobbyists to run Muse on devices like Raspberry Pi, ESP32-based boards, E Ink displays, HDMI sticks or small touchscreens. Meta is also producing 5,000 Muse Home Link units with a waitlist and warns builders to "proceed at your own risk."
Meta’s Muse chatbot now will provide a downloadable archive of its full filesystem (root included) from the Muse Secure VM, which Meta engineers describe as a deliberate feature because the VM is intended to be 'your own computer in the cloud.' Previously Muse sometimes refused similar requests; Meta says it is continuing to update the product and that shared listings have had 'secrets stripped out.'
Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta’s Superintelligence Labs, wrote that Muse was "definitely heavily inspired as a product by OpenClaw" while also saying Muse was "built from scratch." His remarks follow community comparisons noting near-identical workspace files (including a SOUL.md) between Muse and the open-source OpenClaw agent.
Meta's new personal AI agent Muse reached over 500,000 users (about 250,000 daily active users) in its first week after launching in the US, with more than two million prompts entered and a #1 spot on Apple's App Store. Meta acknowledged Muse was "heavily inspired" by the open-source project OpenClaw after users found nearly identical file names and contents; Meta staff said they rebuilt the product at scale while borrowing design ideas.
