Meta is expanding its wearable lineup with an AI pendant and multiple smart glasses models, according to a report from The Information. The company aims to test the pendant next year and release up to four new glasses in 2026.
AI pendant codenamed Modelo
The AI pendant, codenamed Modelo, is a new category for Meta. It acquired Limitless, the startup behind the Pendant device, in late 2025. The pendant is expected to offer AI-powered assistance in a compact form factor.
Meta's smart glasses plans include several models: Luna, RBM2 Refresh, Mojito VIP, Artemis, and SSG. These will range from standard smart glasses to supersensing glasses with always-on cameras and sensors.
Supersensing glasses with always-on cameras
The supersensing glasses are a notable addition, featuring always-on cameras and sensors for continuous environmental awareness. This could support advanced AI capabilities such as real-time object recognition and navigation assistance.
Meta is also developing a subscription service called Wearables for Work, targeting enterprise users. The company aims to sell 10 million wearables in the second half of 2026 to help offset losses from Reality Labs.
These plans are part of Meta's broader push into AI wearables, following the success of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The company is relying on a diverse portfolio to appeal to different market segments.
The Information's report is based on sources familiar with Meta's plans. The company has not officially confirmed these details, so they should be treated as rumors until Meta announces them.
