What you need to know
- Meta announced that it’s preparing to rollout its Muse Spark AI on its AI Glasses Gen 1 and Gen 2, but states its Ray-Ban Display will wait until the summer.
- Muse Spark is also receiving an update that improves its voice conversation capabilities and adds a useful shopping feature.
- Meta Connect 2026 is confirmed to take place from September 23-24.
Meta’s new LLM is the latest piece of AI software that’s taking over its devices, and the company says it’s coming to its smart glasses, too.
The company revealed a new Muse Spark update that’s rolling out this week; however, it also confirmed its arrival on a couple of smart glasses. Shortly after, Meta responded to a user’s question about when Muse Spark will hit its wearables. According to the post, users can expect the new AI model to reach the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses “gradually over the next few weeks” in the U.S. and Canada.
It’s safe to say this update has already started its slow arrival, so users with these models (Meta AI glasses Gen 1 and Gen 2) should keep their eyes out. A small thread on Reddit discussed this, and one user has received an update, but it appears unrelated. For now, the wait continues. Regarding the user’s question about the Ray-Ban Display glasses, Meta says users with this model will have to wait until the summer for Muse Spark.

On Meta’s blog, it detailed the update users can expect for Muse Spark in the company’s AI app. Leading off the changes is an update for the AI’s voice conversation capabilities. It states, “Muse Spark lets you talk naturally with the assistant—interrupt, switch topics, or swap languages.” What’s more, the AI is said to keep up with your mindset while you talk. Muse Spark can generate images or pull up relevant information from the web during a conversation.
Meta’s Live AI is making the jump from its glasses to its AI app. This opens up the possibility of using your camera to locate an item and ask the AI about it. A shopping update in this patch lets users query the AI for help in searching the Facebook Marketplace or other stores online.
Muse Spark is Meta’s newest LLM, positioned as the catalyst for a “people first” era in AI. Since its April debut, the company has been busy bringing it to its social media apps to aid users and its AI app. What’s significant now is that the company’s smart glasses are getting them, which (ideally) can only help. Muse Spark was touted as a smarter, faster AI assistant, capable of leveraging multiple AI agents to handle tasks.
On a related note, Meta Connect 2026 has been confirmed to take place from September 23-24. There, it’s been teased that Meta has VR, wearables, and AI reveals lined up for users and developers.
Android Central’s Take
It’s hard for me not to think that Meta is feeling somewhat inspired by what Google’s been doing. Making Muse Spark and positioning it as a “people first” AI just screams usability in everyday life. Meta wants this AI to be used for simple tasks, for finding information, for understanding, and the like. But, as always, I’m sure it won’t stop there.
