2023–26Brilliant Labs Halo — On-Device AI Wearable
Open-source AI glasses running on-device NPU inference, paired with a cloud agent with persistent memory.
THE BRIEF
An AI wearable needs all-day battery, a colour display, and an honest privacy story. Most ship cloud-only with a four-hour battery and a backhauled microphone.
THE BUILD
Alif B1 (Cortex-M55 + NPU) in the frames, colour microOLED, bone-conduction audio. Cloud agent (Noa) for long-horizon tasks. Full stack — ZephyrOS, Lua runtime, schematics — open to developers.
THE OUTCOME
Halo shipping with the developer community; full hardware and firmware stack open-source.
