At Connect, Meta presents new Muse features and an audio-only smart glasses model, while OpenAI and YouTube expand AI assistance. Anthropic reports a discovery from its biology lab.
At Connect Meta showed that Muse gets a customizable avatar for real-time video chat and can carry out computer tasks on a Mac while the user is away. Muse also comes to Meta's AI glasses with a wake word, and gets its own email address and shopping integrations with Shopify, Stripe and PayPal, among others. The glasses feature follows in the coming months; no date was given for the rest.
The audio glasses weigh 43 grams and last up to 12 hours, or up to 48 hours with the charging case. They play music, make calls, translate speech and let you talk to Muse. Preorders open on 13 October.

Everything here is a summary of reports from other media, not original research. The label (Certain, High, Medium, Low) is my estimate of how reliable the source is. The summaries are generated automatically with AI and may contain mistakes; read the article itself for the details (the star marks the leading source). Sources: leading A.I. and tech sites and the official blogs of the A.I. companies.
