KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) — Liquid AI, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-born foundation model developer, has entered into an agreement with Brilliant Labs to integrate its vision-language models into the latter’s artificial intelligence (AI) glasses.
Under the agreement, Brilliant will license Liquid’s current and upcoming multimodal foundation models (LFMs) to strengthen the scene-understanding capabilities of its smart wearable products.
Liquid AI co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO), Ramin Hasani said the company builds efficient generative AI models that match the quality of much larger systems while maintaining a lower energy footprint.
“I strongly believe in glasses as a viable form factor for the future of hyper-personalised human-AI interaction. We are excited to bring our private and efficient on-device LFMs to Brilliant Labs’ customers,” he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Brilliant Labs CEO, Bobak Tavangar said the collaboration aligns with the company’s values of openness, privacy and personalisation in computing.
“The speed and efficiency of LFM2-VL-450M enables us to build a new class of AI features atop our glasses hardware platform, and we are just getting started,” he said.
Brilliant Labs will incorporate the models into its flagship product, the Halo AI glasses, which offer features such as AI memory, real-time conversational AI and Vibe Mode on an open-source platform.
Liquid AI’s LFM2-VL models support both text and image inputs, powered by a compact vision encoder with 86 million parameters on a 350 million base model.
The models are capable of delivering detailed scene descriptions with millisecond latency on central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), enabling real-time intelligence for end devices.
Halo will be powered by LFM2-VL-450M and is currently available for pre-order, with the first units expected to ship in the fourth quarter of this year.
