Liquid AI, the MIT-born leader in efficient foundation models, and Brilliant Labs, a pioneer of open source smart wearables, have announced a partnership to integrate Liquid's vision-language foundation models into Brilliant's products. This agreement licenses current and upcoming multimodal Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) to enhance the scene-understanding capabilities of Brilliant's AI glasses, such as the newly available Halo model for preorder.
Liquid AI's models will enhance Brilliant's AI glasses, including the Halo, which has become a popular open source platform for builders and creatives advancing computing. Halo introduces innovative features like AI memory, real-time conversational AI, and Vibe Mode, all within an open and private ecosystem. This integration raises the standard for smart wearables by enabling detailed, accurate scene descriptions from camera inputs with millisecond latency.
“At Liquid, we build efficient generative AI models that demonstrate the quality and reliability of models orders of magnitude larger. Our commitment to delivering the highest quality AI solutions with the lowest energy footprint truly unlocks high-stakes use cases on any device,” said Ramin Hasani, co-founder and CEO of Liquid AI. “I strongly believe in glasses as a viable form factor for the future of hyper-personalized human-AI interaction. Brilliant Labs has been on the verge of building this future with their AI glasses products. We’re excited to bring our best-in-class, private, and efficient on-device LFMs to their customers.”
Liquid's LFM2-VL series, the first vision-language foundation models from the company, processes text and image inputs at variable resolutions. It features a compact 86M parameter vision encoder built on a 350M LFM2 base model, delivering creative and precise scene analysis in real-time. Halo will utilize the LFM2-VL-450M variant, available for preorder at $299 via Brilliant's website, with initial units shipping in the fourth quarter of this year.
“The future of computing must be open, private, and personal,” said Bobak Tavangar, CEO of Brilliant Labs. “These are core values we share with Liquid and their incredibly innovative foundation models are a perfect fit for Halo and Brilliant’s open source AI glasses platform. The speed and efficiency of LFM2-VL-450M enables us to build a whole new class of AI features atop our glasses hardware platform and we’re just getting started.”
This collaboration positions Brilliant Labs' Halo as a leader in on-device AI wearables, combining efficiency, privacy, and personalization to redefine human-device interactions in everyday scenarios.
Liquid AI is a foundation model company spun out of MIT, focused on building highly efficient AI systems designed for real-world environments. Liquid’s proprietary Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) and its LEAP development platform enable seamless deployment of advanced AI directly on devices where latency, privacy, and performance matter most.

Brilliant Labs is reimagining human-device interactions with the development of AI-enabled glasses. The company introduced the world’s first open-source wearable AI device, Monocle, in 2023, and has since released two different lines of AI glasses. The latest device, Halo, includes an agentic memory system called Narrative, designed to provide memory augmentation. Brilliant’s fully open-source approach to both hardware and software design allows builders to create the tools they need in personal and professional settings. The result is a smart wearable device catered to personalization, performance, and privacy.
