That's it from the developer state of the union! Everything we shared has a dedicated developer session with more details on where to get started and key considerations you should know. Explore deep dives into our AI models, AI glasses and Horizon 👉

Muse Spark 1.3 is now available through @Oracle, with availability on @GoogleCloud in private preview. We’re excited to give developers more choice in where they build and deploy by expanding access to our frontier coding and agentic model through our preferred cloud platform partners.

We believe the future is for everyone, so we're putting superintelligence in everyone's hands. The Developer State of the Union is live: what's shipping, what's in preview, and what's changing across our SDKs, APIs, and tooling. This is the surface you'll build on. Plus where to start today.🛠️ #MetaConnect# During the livestream, you can experience the virtual content in a number of languages on

Meta’s Segment Anything Model (SAM) 3.1 is now available on Meta Model API, giving developers a fast and lightweight model for detection, segmentation and tracking in a single call on inference tuned for SAM 3.1's architecture. Use a short phrase to find objects in images and video. One API call returns detections, pixel-precise segmentation masks, and identity-preserving video tracks. Learn more and start building:

Tesla is moving Optimus toward mass production, with orders already going to Chinese suppliers. China’s 21st Century Business Herald reports that Tesla began a new round of supplier audits on September 17, after its team arrived in Ningbo. The reported work includes checking production consistency and helping suppliers set up equipment. Earlier audits covered joint modules, precision parts and assembly quality, using automotive-style requirements for production speed and yield. July supply-chain reporting described parts orders covering hundreds of Gen3 robots and supplier expansion plans based on 100,000 robots. Suppliers are expanding capacity and developing new production processes. Meanwhile, component costs are being broken down against an eventual selling-price target of around $20,000, making faster production and fewer defective parts central to the ramp. The production plan calls for converting Fremont’s Model S/X lines for Optimus, targeting a start by the end of 2026 and eventual capacity of 1 million robots a year. Initial deployments are intended for Tesla’s own factories.

Japan’s ugo just unveiled Nova, a wheeled dual-arm robot with mass production planned for 2027. Nova has a 22-DOF humanoid upper body on mecanum wheels, with a 4 kg payload per arm and up to 10 kg using both. Runtime is about six hours. Operators can record demonstrations using force-feedback or VR controllers for AI training. Trained models can run onboard on NVIDIA Jetson Thor. ugo is also offering help with what comes after buying the robot: collecting task data and adapting models for a factory’s handling, picking and assembly work.
