Editorial summaries

Bee

The Bee Pioneer is available for purchase directly from Bee's website, ships within 1 business day, but currently only within the United States with no international shipping. The Bee Pioneer is priced at $49.99 USD as a one-time purchase, as listed on Bee's official product page.

Brilliant Labs Halo (and Frame)

Brilliant Labs makes open-source AI smart glasses: the Frame (2024) and the newer Halo (announced July 2025). Both are open-source (hardware and SDK on GitHub; Lua on-device plus Python/Flutter), which sets them apart from the closed Meta and Humane ecosystems. The Noa assistant routes to cloud models (Perplexity, OpenAI, Whisper), and Halo licenses Liquid AI's on-device model.

Pricing runs about $349 for Frame and $299 to $349 for Halo. AI substance is moderate: developer-accessible and hackable rather than the most polished.
