Vim Mode in Muse Code

Small update. You can now edit prompts in Muse Code, Meta's coding agent, with Vim keyboard shortcuts. Only matters if you already use Vim.

Best for: Editing long prompts from the keyboard without reaching for the mouse
When to use it: Your hands already know Vim keys and switching habits slows you down in the prompt box
Who benefits: Developers on Muse Code who work in Vim or Vim-style editors

Monitor in Muse Code

Small update for developers using Meta's Muse Code: it can now watch CI, builds, and logs in the background and wake the agent only when something needs action.

Best for: Hands-off follow-through on pull requests, like watching checks and fixing whatever fails.
When to use it: You'd otherwise keep prompting the agent to check whether a build has passed yet.
Who benefits: Developers already using Muse Code in the terminal.

Muse Realtime Avatar

Meta's model that turns Muse's voice into a live, talking video character built from any reference image, unveiled at Meta Connect 2026.

Best for: Face-to-face style video conversations with Muse instead of voice or text alone.
When to use it: A conversation would land better with a visible, expressive character on screen than with a voice.
Who benefits: Muse app users 18 and older, plus anyone tracking where AI video characters are heading for customer-facing work.

SAM 3.1 in the Meta Model API

Meta's object detection and tracking model is now a hosted API call instead of something you run yourself.

Best for: Pulling specific objects out of images or following them through video without training anything.
When to use it: You need pixel-level cutouts or object tracking and don't want to stand up GPU infrastructure for it.
Who benefits: Developers building media, creative, or video analysis tools who were previously self-hosting SAM.

Muse for Mac

Meta's personal AI agent now runs as a Mac app that can act inside your native files, mail, messages, calendar, and notes.

Best for: Handing off desktop work that spans apps, where the agent needs to open things rather than be shown them.
When to use it: The task lives in local Mac apps and copying it into a chat window would lose the context.
Who benefits: Mac users who already tried Muse on mobile or web and want it acting on their own machine.

Muse Code on Windows

Muse Code, Meta's coding agent for the terminal, now runs natively on Windows without the Linux compatibility layer it needed before.

Best for: Using Meta's coding agent directly on a Windows work laptop
When to use it: You wanted to try Muse Code but your machine runs Windows and you didn't want to set up a Linux environment
Who benefits: Teams on Windows machines, especially where installing software needs IT admin rights

Meta One

Meta's paid subscription, bundling higher Meta AI usage and extra features across Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Meta AI from $2.99 a month.

Best for: People who keep hitting Meta AI generation limits, and creators or businesses who want Meta's publishing and agent tools.
When to use it: Meta AI is part of the daily workflow and free-tier generation caps are getting in the way.
Who benefits: Creators, social media managers, and small business teams running Meta channels.

Muse Voice Transcribe in LiveKit Agents

Meta's real-time speech-to-text model is now a ready-made plugin in LiveKit Agents, an open-source framework developers use to build voice agents.

Best for: Voice agents that need to turn a caller's speech into text as they talk, including names and brand terms.
When to use it: You already build voice agents on LiveKit and want Meta's transcription model without writing your own connection to it.
Who benefits: Developers building phone agents, customer-facing voice assistants, or live support tools.
