Meta’s “Project Phoenix” headset design appeared in leaked images posted ahead of Meta Connect. The images were reportedly found in the HorizonOS Prescription Lens firmware package published for September 23rd’s event window. This suggests Meta is moving toward a slimmer mixed-reality glasses-style device positioned between bulkier MR glasses and full VR headsets.

Meta is changing the AI chatbot prompts it suggests after a viral example showed the feature asking for personal information about a woman’s young daughters. Meta said the prompt should not have included questions like “Who is the child passenger?”. The feature will no longer present that kind of intrusive suggestion in prompts going forward, after Meta acknowledged it “missed the mark.”

The reported offer was a $1.5 billion pay package over six years, though that figure is disputed.

Muse Spark Open ships as an 816B multimodal model with a 1 million–token context window, paired with Muse Code for coding and agent-style workflows—and it comes with strings. The license is free for use and fine-tuning, but it adds revenue-linked conditions (including advance notice above $20 million) and asks developers to display “Built with Muse Spark Open.” Running locally is a hardware project in itself: Meta says you need about 1TB of RAM. Still, the rollout is broad—Meta is making it available via multiple API platforms for desktop-focused tasks, and now through Amazon SageMaker JumpStart for deploy-to-your-own-AWS-account use, including BF16 and a 4-bit NVFP4 variant.
