# Brilliant Labs (Frame & Halo): Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Brilliant Labs makes open-source AI glasses (Frame, Halo) from about $299 to $349. The developer-accessible contrast to closed Meta. The status.

## Price

- **$349** (actual-sale-price, one-time; as of 2026-06-17)
- **$299 to $349** (actual-sale-price, one-time; as of 2025-07-31) · [Brilliant Labs](https://brilliant.xyz/) · 2025-07-31

The prices above are verified actual sale prices: about $349 for the Frame, and $299 to $349 for the Halo. The differentiator is not price but openness: the hardware and SDK are open-source.

## Availability

_Status: shipping-now_

Brilliant Labs glasses are shipping and consumer-available. The Frame launched in 2024; the Halo was announced in July 2025 with a Q4 2025 target. Both are open-source on GitHub.

## Status

Brilliant Labs makes the open-source, developer-accessible glasses of the cohort, a contrast with the closed Meta and Humane ecosystems. The Noa assistant routes to cloud models (Perplexity, OpenAI, Whisper), and the Halo licenses Liquid AI's on-device model. DEPLOY places Brilliant in the moderate tier of Agent A's AI-substance spectrum: real and hackable, but less polished than the genuine-cloud-AI leaders.
