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.

RayNeo V3

The RayNeo V3 (from RayNeo, TCL's AR glasses subsidiary) is a camera-and-audio AI glasses product with no display, in the Ray-Ban Meta class: 39 grams, a 12-megapixel TCL co-developed camera (1080p/30fps), and 32GB of storage. It went on sale in China in January 2025 at 1,799 yuan, roughly $249.

Its AI is genuine: a customized multimodal large language model via an Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen partnership, with three years of free AI updates, placing it in the genuine-cloud-AI tier. Two cap-flags: pricing is China-market CNY (the USD figure is a conversion, and it is not officially sold outside China), and the vendor's performance numbers (a 1.3-second response time and 98 percent accuracy) are RayNeo-stated, not independently verified. It is the TCL/RayNeo parallel to Xiaomi AI Glasses and Baidu's Xiaodu in the Chinese consumer wearable-AI cohort.
