![[AINews] Meta Connect 2026: Muse glasses, voice, video, and Charm](/media/images/2026/09/0c1da83150c10d24.webp)
Team Zuck is absolutely on fire. Here’s a good supercut of Meta Connect: and the effusive praise on Stratechery shows the mood on the ground. Unfortunately, no MSL updates beyond a tease, since Muse Spark was launched 3 weeks ago. However, Muse itself counts as a success, since it has overtaken ChatGPT in the App…

We covered Jev’s launch on Wednesday, and they have completely taken over the timeline, with 36M views of their launch video (by comparison, OpenAI’s Navier Stokes result got 74M views, and Anthropic’s Fable 5 got 57M views) in just two days.
