- Meta entered the consumer AI device market ahead of OpenAI, though CNBC reports Zuckerberg's hardware strategy remains unproven.
- Meta unveiled AI gadgets including a Tamagotchi-like pendant and a new smartglass lineup, amid growing public concerns over the technology, per People.
- Wall Street is now weighing in on Meta's smartglasses and first Muse 'holdable' device, with analysts split on the consumer AI hardware play.
Why it matters: Meta is the first major AI lab to ship consumer hardware at scale, giving it a first-mover data and brand lead over OpenAI — but with the strategy still called unproven and public skepticism rising, Zuckerberg is betting that owning the device, not just the model, is where the next AI margin lives.
