Muse can live in smart glasses, on Mac, in email, or in a keychain device called Muse Charm, and works autonomously on tasks using a cloud Linux VM, a Rust-based agent harness called Hatch, and a credential-isolation system called Sentinel. Meta claims it can't see user data but admits a fully private VM is still in testing and that interactions are used as training data by default. Meta also announced updated Ray-Ban style glasses (Gen 3, $449), audio-only glasses ($349), and new $1,300 VR glasses shipping next spring. The video ends with a sponsored promotion for an agent orchestration tool called Hyper Agent. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Meta's Muse AI agent and how does it protect user data technically? Muse is a personal AI agent from Meta, powered by the Muse Spark 1.3 model, that can browse the web, use a computer on your behalf, and has its own email address for CC'ing or forwarding tasks. It runs inside a cloud-based Linux VM using a Rust harness called Hatch for the agent loop, with passwords stored separately and swapped in by a gatekeeper called Sentinel using fake tokens so a compromised page can't exfiltrate real credentials. Meta offers up to $130,000 for successful prompt injection exploits. _Anyone weighing agent security tradeoffs can track how sandboxed AI agents like Muse hold up on daily.dev._ ### Does Meta's Muse AI agent actually keep your data private from Meta? Not yet. Despite claims that Meta can't see what users put into Muse, the fully isolated version of the VM that would keep data safe from Meta is still in testing, and by default everything said or done with Muse can be used as training data for future models. _Developers evaluating AI agent privacy claims can follow how these promises hold up over on daily.dev._ ### What are the prices and release details for Meta's new Ray-Ban glasses and VR headset announced at Connect 2026? Meta announced Gen 3 smart glasses with a dedicated AI button for $449, an audio-only version for $349, and new VR glasses weighing about 100g with 5K micro OLED displays and IMAX Enhanced certification shipping next spring for $1,300. A keychain-style device called Muse Charm, with a fingerprint sensor, 5G connection, and touchscreen, is planned for this holiday season. _Anyone tracking Meta's hardware lineup and pricing can follow the rollout details on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@eugeneyaremenko** · 4 upvotes >  **@devgenx** · 2 upvotes > Isn't way pass time that we admit Zuck is a moron and should not be in charge of anything?
