Meta is developing an AI pendant and plans to release up to four new models of smart glasses before the end of the year, according to The Information. The company will begin testing the AI pendant within the coming year following its acquisition of Limitless in 2025. Limitless produced a device called “Pendant,” which is a clip-on Bluetooth microphone that records conversations and provides summaries and transcripts.
Limitless CEO Dan Siroker emphasized that Meta’s strategy includes creating AI-enabled wearables. Alongside the pendant, Meta is preparing to launch a subscription service named “Wearables for Work,” targeting business customers. Meta’s VP for wearables, Alex Himel, stated in an internal memo that the goal is to increase the adoption of its AI models through paid subscriptions. This includes subscriptions for Hatch, its unreleased consumer AI agent.
Meta is also expanding its smart glasses offerings beyond previous collaborations with Ray-Ban and Oakley. A new model codenamed “Modelo” is expected to debut as early as June. Following “Modelo,” models named “Luna” and “RBM2 Refresh” are set to launch this fall, with the final release for the year planned for December under the name “Mojito VIP.” Future models, including “Artemis” and “SSG” (supersensing glasses), are reportedly undergoing testing.
The new smart glasses will incorporate Meta’s AI models, including the unreleased Hatch agent. Meta aims to sell 10 million wearables in the second half of 2026, expanding the product’s availability to more countries. The company also seeks to enroll at least ten organizations in its “Wearables for Work” plan, with plans for deployments to large organizations needing at least 100 devices each.
Meta’s Reality Labs division has faced significant losses, reporting a $19 billion loss in 2025. CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that the division will prioritize glasses and wearables going forward while expecting losses to diminish over time.
