Brilliant Labs has announced some updates to its new open-source AR glasses, Frame. To further support its open-source ethos, the company has launched the Developer Partner Program. This includes developer tools to build and share apps transparently. These resources include Frame’s living documentation, open source codebase and hardware schematics. A hackathon is also planned for next month to encourage app development for the AR device.

In addition, Frame now has support for more AI-based apps. This includes LLMs such as Anthropic’s Claude 3, Llama 3 and Stable Diffusion. It is also compatible with multimodal LLMs like GPT-4o, Perplexity and Whisper. Along with the expanded LLM support, the company has launched interactive features for its AI assistant, Noa. The latter is now capable of speaking responses or outputs back to the user (rather than having the user to read them as text). Noa also has a 'Wild Card Mode' where the assistant can provide historical facts and news updates, or even questions and recommendations based on the user’s location or what Frame is seeing.

​

Frame is also now shipping worldwide. It currently retails at its pre-order price of $349 on the official website, lasting until June.

“We’re excited to finally get Frame in the hands of developers worldwide," said Bobak Tavangar, co-founder and CEO of Brilliant Labs. "Glasses are the ideal form factor for an AI device because they leave you hands free and align seamlessly with how you see, hear and engage with the world around you. But more than this, we are inverting the closed source model of the past, to fling the doors wide open for innovation on more equitable terms. In this new era of embodied AI, trust, privacy and openness are more essential than ever. Power must be in the hands of communities building with these technologies.”

Seems like you can change the AI mannerisms, which is good, since you have to wait a bit before getting a roundabout answer.
