- Meta's personal AI agent Muse is reportedly outpacing ChatGPT's early numbers, according to TechCrunch's Equity podcast.
- Muse is headed for smart glasses and a tiny Tamagotchi-style device as part of Meta's consumer AI hardware strategy.
- Anthropic rolled out Opus 5.5, followed by OpenAI's GPT-6 model updates just 90 minutes later, creating what the podcast called "model drop week."
- Meta "stole the spotlight" from the competing frontier model releases despite not dropping a new model that week, per hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O'Kane.
Why it matters: Meta's Muse is reportedly outpacing ChatGPT's early numbers while expanding to smart glasses and a Tamagotchi-style device, positioning the company with a consumer-AI-hardware distribution channel that API-focused rivals OpenAI and Anthropic aren't building as they chase frontier model releases.
