Meta’s AI – Meta is reportedly preparing to test an AI pendant over the coming year and release up to four additional smart glasses models before the end of the year, as it pushes wearables to help offset Reality Labs’ heavy losses.
Meta’s next wearable push is no longer just about showing up on faces. It’s about getting closer to the everyday noise of people’s lives.
The company is reportedly developing an AI pendant and plans to begin testing it over the coming year. The effort comes as Meta also gears up to release up to four more models of smart glasses before the year ends. tied to a broader plan to make up for massive losses inside its Reality Labs division. which houses its hardware business.
Meta hasn’t confirmed the pendant report. But the direction has looked likely since Meta purchased Limitless in 2025. a move that positioned the company to build on Limitless’ work. Limitless made an AI device literally called “Pendant,” described as a clip-on Bluetooth microphone. It listens and records everything you say or hear throughout the day. so it can generate summaries. transcripts. and a searchable database of conversations and things you record for yourself. Limitless CEO Dan Siroker framed the purchase at the time as part of Meta’s push toward personal superintelligence. saying. “Meta recently announced a new vision to bring personal superintelligence to everyone and a key part of that vision is building incredible AI-enabled wearables.”.
The same reporting points to a smart-glasses expansion that’s less cautious than Meta’s earlier lineup. Meta is reportedly planning to broaden its AI glasses selection significantly. and to roll out a business-focused subscription service called “Wearables for Work.” In an internal memo. Meta’s VP for wearables. Alex Himel. wrote that the goal is to get more people using Meta’s AI models—and to compel them to pay for subscriptions. That includes subscriptions for Hatch, Meta’s unreleased consumer AI agent that’s currently under development.
Meta has been building out subscription mechanics elsewhere, including newly launched subscription tiers with exclusive features for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. That same push tests a new monthly payment system called Meta One.
Himel’s memo also says Meta wants to expand its smart glasses offerings beyond collaborations with Ray-Ban and Oakley. The publication reports that Meta is debuting a new pair codenamed “Modelo” as soon as June. “Luna” and “RBM2 Refresh,” which sounds like another Ray-Ban model, are set to follow this fall. The last pair planned for release this year, in December, is called “Mojito VIP.”.
Meta is also reportedly testing glasses models named “Artemis” and “SSG” (or “supersensing” glasses) for future releases. All of the new glasses are expected to be powered by Meta’s AI models, along with Hatch.
The push isn’t just about more products—it’s about hitting a numbers target that Reality Labs has struggled to justify. Himel told employees that Meta’s goal is to sell 10 million wearables in the second half of 2026. The plan. according to the publication. isn’t limited to new launches; it includes making the devices available in more countries. Meta is also aiming to get at least 10 companies to sign up for “Wearables for Work” for commercial customers. targeting deployments to at least two large organizations that need 100 devices each.
Those ambitions land under the shadow of Reality Labs’ financial reality. The division has been bleeding money for years and lost $19 billion in 2025 alone. During Meta’s earnings call for the fourth quarter of 2025. Mark Zuckerberg told investors that Reality Labs is going to focus on glasses and wearables going forward. and that the company expects the division’s losses to gradually become smaller.
