Leaked Meta Memo Reveals an AI Pendant, Four New Smart Glasses, and a 'Wearables for Work' Push

An internal Meta memo obtained by The Information and reported by Engadget lays out a far more aggressive wearables roadmap than Meta has shown in public. Written by Alex Himel, Meta's vice president of wearables, it describes an always-listening AI pendant, a wave of new smart glasses, and a dedicated enterprise product — a strategy built around selling 10 million wearable devices in the second half of 2026.

The headline new device is an AI pendant, built on Meta's 2025 acquisition of the startup Limitless, whose clip-on hardware records the conversations around a wearer and turns the audio into transcripts, meeting recaps and a searchable record of the day. Meta's version is described as "ambient" technology that listens in the background and surfaces reminders and summaries, potentially adding a camera to track daily activities. Internal "dogfooding" of the pendant reportedly does not begin until spring 2027, making it the most distant item on the roadmap.

The nearer-term bets are glasses. The memo points to four new models in 2026 — codenamed Modelo (as soon as June), Luna and an "RBM2 Refresh" Ray-Ban model in the fall, and a higher-end "Mojito VIP" in December — plus future "supersensing" models in testing under the names Artemis and SSG, whose cameras and sensors would run continuously for hours of all-day tracking. Meta says it sold more than 7 million smart glasses in 2025 and that daily usage of the devices roughly tripled year over year. The hardware runs on Meta's Muse Spark model and an as-yet-unreleased AI agent the memo calls "Hatch."

The enterprise piece is "Wearables for Work," a business-focused subscription aimed at corporate customers willing to pay for industry-specific features. The memo sets concrete targets: sign at least 10 companies to the program and land deployments at a minimum of two large organizations of roughly 100 devices each, while reaching 6.8 million monthly active wearable users by year-end. The push comes against a brutal backdrop — Meta's Reality Labs division lost about $19 billion in 2025 — which helps explain the pivot from headsets toward cheaper, higher-volume glasses and wearables.

Strip away the codenames and the memo describes a single ambition: putting AI on people's bodies rather than just their screens. The pendant, the supersensing glasses and the enterprise tier all rest on the same idea — continuous, ambient capture, with devices that quietly record context all day and feed it to an on-device agent. That is also where the hard fights wait. A roadmap built on always-on microphones and cameras only works if regulators, employers and the people standing next to the wearer are willing to live with it.
