メタはMeta Connectイベントで、同社の新しいMuseエージェントとの音声対話専用に設計された単体ポケットデバイス「Muse Charm」を発表した。同時に、マーク・ザッカーバーグ最高経営責任者が「パーソナル・スーパーインテリジェンス」と呼ぶ分野への大規模な取り組みも打ち出した。Muse Charmの初公開は水曜日の遅い時間に行われ、メタは「Meta VR Glasses」も披露した。これは100グラムの空間コンピューティングヘッドセットで、価格は1299ドル、5KマイクロOLEDディスプレイ、テザードパック処理、ネイティブのアイトラッキングとハンドトラッキングを備える。さらに、249ドルからのエントリーモデルとなる第3世代「Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3」グラス、カメラ非搭載でオープンイヤーリスニングとAI音声対話に対応する「Ray-Ban Meta Audio」グラスも発表した。ヤフーファイナンスが入手したSensor Towerの新しいデータによると、メタのMuseは9月8日のローンチ以降、340万ダウンロードを超え、そのうち最初の2週間で280万ダウンロードを記録した。同じローンチ後14日間で、OpenAIのChatGPTは370万、SpaceXAIのGrokは40万、AnthropicのClaudeは30万だった。メタの株価は過去5日間で14%急騰したが、予想株価収益率は22倍で取引されており、長期平均の23.1倍を下回っている。2027年のEPS予想は90日前の水準を依然として大きく下回っている。シティのアナリスト、ロナルド・ホセイ氏は、同社はMeta Connectを経てメタ株に対して徐々に強気になっており、MuseをメタのAI製品戦略の中心と位置付けていると述べた。音声、Metaグラスを通じた追加の流通チャネル、ショッピング、旅行、生産性の各分野にわたるサービスが、新たな収益化の機会を解き放つ可能性があるという。

メタはMeta Connectの基調講演で、Muse AIエージェントを中心とした新しいハードウェアラインナップを発表した。中心となるのはMuse Charmで、音声操作専用に作られた単体のポケットデバイスだ。同社はまた、Meta VR Glassesも披露した。これは1299ドルの空間コンピューティングヘッドセットで、重さわずか100グラム、メタのQuest 3の約5分の1の重量であり、5KマイクロOLEDディスプレイ、テザードパックによる処理、ネイティブのアイ・アンド・ハンドトラッキングを備える。スマートアイウェア分野では、メタは第3世代のRay-Ban Meta Gen 3グラスを発表した。価格は249ドルからで、カメラ非搭載のRay-Ban Meta Audioグラスも加わった。これはオープンイヤーでのリスニングとAI音声操作に特化して設計されている。KeyBancのアナリスト、ジャスティン・パターソン氏は、今回の基調講演はAIとコネクテッドデバイス全体での進歩を示しており、メタがハードウェアの総獲得可能市場に参入する能力をより多くの投資家が再評価するだろうと述べた。グラスだけで20億人のユーザー機会を表すという。Evercore ISIのアナリスト、マーク・マハニー氏は、この発表を戦略的転換と呼び、エージェント型AI、ウェアラブルコンピューティング、コマース統合、プライバシー基盤をメタの次世代コンピューティングプラットフォームの中核に据えるものだと述べ、メタバースよりもMuseの方がメタの投資家にとって良いことだと付け加えた。JPモルガンのアナリスト、ダグ・アンムース氏は、まだ初期段階ではあるものの、MuseはChatGPT以来最も広く使われる消費者向けAIアプリケーションになる可能性があると述べた。
