⚡ What this means

Meta is developing an AI pendant and expanding into business-focused wearables, aiming to sell 10 million devices in the second half of 2026. The push comes as its Reality Labs hardware division lost $4 billion in the first quarter on just $402 million revenue. The company also acquired AI-wearables startup Limitless and plans to launch the new products alongside existing Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses partnerships.

Meta's betting big that AI wearables—from glasses to neck pendants—will become your next must-have gadget, and it's willing to absorb billions in losses to get there.

⚡ What this means

China's MiniMax, an AI company that generates text, images, audio, and video using large language models, is preparing for a domestic stock listing to fund its fight against rivals like DeepSeek. The Shanghai-based firm, which listed in Hong Kong in January, now claims over $300 million in annual recurring revenue and over one million business users—but remains unprofitable due to heavy spending on AI development.

Another major Chinese AI company is joining the public markets, joining a wave of AI listings as firms race to fund expensive model development.
