September AI Week Quiz 2026: Eight Questions on Glasses and Voice

Welcome to the September AI week quiz 2026, built around the two biggest tech announcements of the month. Meta turned its Connect conference into a hardware parade for the Muse AI era, and OpenAI gave ChatGPT Voice its most serious upgrade yet, with plugins, new models, and a seat inside ChatGPT Work. If you kept up with both announcements, this quiz should be easy. If you didn't, you'll know the headlines by the end. Fans of our earlier quizzes, like the 2026 Emmys quiz and the September science quiz, already know the drill.

Eight questions, four options each, answers at the bottom.

Round one: Meta's hardware blitz

Round one of the September AI week quiz 2026 covers Meta's annual Connect developer conference, which has become the company's biggest stage. This year's edition on September 23 was all about glasses. CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Meta VR Glasses, a premium spatial computing device that splits the usual headset in two: lightweight glasses plus an external pocket-sized puck that handles the processing, battery, and storage. According to reports from the event, the glasses weigh roughly 100 grams, which makes them about five times lighter than the Meta Quest 3.

Question 1: Where did Mark Zuckerberg unveil the new Meta VR Glasses?
A) Google I/O
B) Meta Connect 2026
C) CES in Las Vegas
D) Apple's WWDC

Question 2: What is the announced price of the Meta VR Glasses?
A) $499
B) $899
C) $1,299
D) $3,499

Question 3: How did Meta get the VR glasses down to about 100 grams?
A) By shrinking the display to half resolution
B) By offloading processing, battery, and storage to an external puck
C) By removing the speakers entirely
D) By making the lenses out of solid titanium

Meta also unveiled its first camera-free smart glasses, the Ray-Ban Audio. They carry the audio capabilities of Meta's camera-equipped models, and the company calls them the lightest smart glasses it has offered. USA Today reports they last up to 12 hours on a single charge, retail for $349, and ship on October 13. The camera-equipped Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 line launched at the same event starting at $449, with new aviator and cat-eye styles.

Question 4: Which statement about the Ray-Ban Audio glasses is true?
A) They have a 12-megapixel camera like the Gen 3 line
B) They cost $349, have no camera, and ship on October 13
C) They only work with Apple devices
D) They were discontinued before launch

Question 5: What is Meta's Muse Charm?
A) A keychain-sized device for talking to the Muse AI agent, aimed at a holiday release
B) A subscription tier for Meta's VR games
C) A new pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses
D) A charging case for the VR glasses

Round two: ChatGPT gets a voice upgrade

The second half of the September AI week quiz 2026 turns to OpenAI. On September 23, the company announced three upgrades to ChatGPT Voice. The update gives Voice plugin support, puts it on the GPT-6 model family, and brings it inside ChatGPT Work on web and mobile, so users can create documents, decks, sites, and spreadsheets just by talking. 9to5Mac reports that plugins now work with ChatGPT Voice, including integrations with email, calendar, and Slack, which fills one of the biggest gaps for longtime Voice users.

Question 6: Which three upgrades did OpenAI announce for ChatGPT Voice on September 23?
A) A new voice, new colors, and new sounds
B) Plugins, GPT-6 models, and ChatGPT Work integration
C) Video calls, screen sharing, and file deletion
D) A hardware speaker, earbuds, and a smart watch

Question 7: Which GPT-6 models now power ChatGPT Voice?
A) Astra, Sol, and Luna, with Astra the most capable
B) Orion, Vega, and Nova
C) Turbo, Pro, and Lite
D) Echo, Delta, and Flux

Question 8: What can users do with Voice inside ChatGPT Work?
A) Only dictate text messages
B) Create docs, decks, sites, and spreadsheets by talking
C) Watch movies hands-free
