From glasses to pendants: Meta reportedly expanding its AI wearables portfolio

According to The Information, Meta is currently working on a new artificial intelligence pendant, with plans to begin testing it next year. But this new venture does not come as a complete surprise considering that Meta acquired Limitless, the company that created the Pendant device, at the end of 2025. The product was a clip-shaped Bluetooth microphone that could be attached to a shirt or worn as a necklace, and it allowed users to listen to and record conversations during the day to generate summaries, transcriptions and a searchable database. Reception of the device, however, appears to be mixed, as this thread illustrates. 

In addition to the pendant, Meta is said to be preparing up to four new smart glasses models. The initial model, with the codename "Modelo", is scheduled to be launched this month, followed by "Luna" and "RBM2 Refresh" in the fall. Another model, called "Mojito VIP", is expected to land in December. The company is also reportedly testing new "supersensing" glasses, featuring always-on cameras and sensors, called "Artemis" and "SSG". These new devices are said to be powered by Meta’s AI models and by Hatch, an AI agent that has not yet been launched.

Furthermore, the company also plans to offer a subscription service for businesses called "Wearables for Work". Its objective is to expand the use of its AI models and encourage customers to pay for their subscriptions. Meta aims to sell 10 million wearables in the second half of 2026 in order to offset the losses of its research and development division, Reality Labs, which totalled $19 billion in 2025.
