Meta expands wearable ambitions with AI pendant, new smart glasses

Meta is set to unveil new wearable devices, including an artificial intelligence-powered pendant and updated smart glasses models, according to reports from *Techedt* and *The Information*. The company is accelerating its hardware efforts as part of a broader strategy to deepen AI integration into everyday consumer products, despite ongoing financial struggles within its Reality Labs division. The AI pendant is said to function similarly to the device developed by Limitless, a company Meta acquired in 2025. The original Pendant was a clip-on Bluetooth microphone designed to continuously record conversations and audio, generating summaries, transcripts, and a searchable archive of recorded information. This aligns with Meta’s vision of creating AI-powered personal assistants available throughout daily activities. In addition to hardware, Meta is reportedly developing subscription-based services tied to its wearable products, which could create new revenue streams while encouraging greater adoption of its AI technologies. The company has not yet officially confirmed the AI pendant’s development, though industry analysts have anticipated such a move following the Limitless acquisition. The new wearables are expected to arrive over the coming months as Meta continues to push into hardware markets, aiming to strengthen its presence beyond social media platforms. The company’s focus on wearables and AI reflects its long-term ambition to become a leader in integrated, always-on digital assistants.
