Brilliant Labs’ highly anticipated Halo Glasses will be powered by Alif Semiconductor’s Balletto B1 MCU, an ultra-low-power microcontroller with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that enables on-device AI processing. This allows Halo Glasses to perform complex tasks at ultra-low power such as real-time translation and its AI memory system while maximizing user privacy and extending battery life up to 14 hours.

Building on this foundation, the two companies will partner on groundbreaking, innovative technologies tailormade specifically for next-generation smart glasses. The new hardware will enable more advanced, personalized edge intelligence, bringing AI closer to the user while further reducing power consumption and data exposure.

“Our partnership with Alif allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in personal, intelligent computing,” said Bobak Tavangar, CEO and co-founder of Brilliant Labs. “By co-defining the silicon that powers our next-generation glasses, we can deliver experiences that feel more natural, more private, and more responsive, without sacrificing performance or battery life.”

“Alif’s mission is to make AI ubiquitous through highly efficient, secure, and connected computing at the edge,” said Reza Kazerounian, President and co-founder of Alif Semiconductor. “Brilliant Labs shares our belief that intelligence belongs in the hands of users. Together, we are creating technology that makes that vision real.”

The partnership underscores a shared commitment to advancing privacy-first AI, open innovation, and computing that feels natural and personal, establishing a new benchmark for the next era of intelligent devices.
