Editorial summaries

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.

Xiaomi AI Glasses

Xiaomi AI Glasses, by Xiaomi Corporation, are camera-and-audio AI glasses with no display, positioned as a direct Ray-Ban Meta competitor and built around the XiaoAI voice assistant. Launched at Xiaomi's Human x Car x Home event on June 26, 2025 (China-only), they carry a 12-megapixel camera with 2K 30fps stabilized video, a Qualcomm AR1 chip, and about 8.6 hours of battery (45-minute recharge), priced from 1,999 yuan (roughly $278) for the base model up to 2,999 yuan (roughly $417) for the color-electrochromic version, with voice capture, object recognition, translation, and QR and visual-scan contactless payment. DEPLOY records commercial mass-market maturity: 50,000 units sold in the first three days and the lead in China's AI-glasses share at 31.9 percent in 2025, ahead of Rokid and Alibaba. The AI is primary and genuine (XiaoAI), though cloud-dependent rather than on-device. Two cap-flags: pricing is China-market CNY (USD figures are conversions), and forward sales targets (such as five million units by 2027) are projections, not verified sales. Recorded under a Xiaomi Corporation consumer entity distinct from the Xiaomi Robotics division that makes the CyberOne humanoid.
