US Stock Market Move | Meta Connect 2026 kicks off, Meta (META.US) rises more than 3%

On Wednesday, Meta (META.US) opened higher and climbed further, rising more than 3% as of press time, up over 33% since September, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.94 trillion. On the news front, the annual tech event Meta Connect 2026 officially kicked off from September 23 to 24, Eastern Time. With the launch of the Muse AI agent, Meta has achieved a leapfrog upgrade in the field of artificial intelligence applications. The outside world expects Meta to update more information about Muse at the conference. At the same time, Meta may also release a new version of its flagship large model Llama, which has been dormant for a long time since its update in April 2025, and this upgrade is highly anticipated by the industry. In addition, the prospect of combining Muse with Meta's wearable devices is also attracting attention, and the outside world is looking forward to hearing how Meta will bring more third-party applications into the smart glasses ecosystem. Meta officially previously teased that this agent will "soon" support smart glasses, so the conference is very likely to detail the specific implementation method. Conversely, the capabilities of AI agents may also become a major selling point for Meta's smart glasses in the future.
