## Common questions

### What is Brilliant Labs Halo (and Frame)?

Brilliant Labs (founded 2019 in Hong Kong by Bobak Tavangar, formerly of Apple, with co-founders Raj Nakarja and Benjamin Heald, and operations in Singapore; about $6M raised from angels including Brendan Iribe, Adam Cheyer, Eric Migicovsky, and Nirav Patel) makes open-source AI smart glasses. Its first product, the Frame, has been on sale since early 2024 as a 39-gram developer-oriented device with a microOLED prism display, a nose-bridge camera, and the Noa multimodal assistant that routes to cloud models; its newer consumer-oriented Halo, announced July 31, 2025, is a roughly 40-gram all-day design with a color microOLED peripheral display, camera, microphone, bone-conduction speakers, Noa with long-term Narrative memory and a Vibe Mode for building apps in natural language, and a licensed Liquid AI vision-language model, offered at pre-order for $299. Both are open-source, with design files and code on GitHub, which is the company's most distinctive and verifiable differentiator. This entity sits in the wearable form factor as a deliberate axis-extension to AI-hardware devices rather than acting robots. The registry records it at commercial maturity on the strength of the shipping, widely reviewed Frame, while noting that Halo's on-device Liquid AI inference performance and confirmation of delivered units are claimed but not independently verified.
