Memories.ai LVMM 2.0 / Project LUCI
https://memories.ai/blog/collaboration-with-qualcomm
Developer-first reference platform for AI wearables. LVMM 2.0 captures visual data through video, encodes it into frames on-device, and stores moments as searchable memories; companion app surfaces past conversations/decisions/experiences. Hardware-level security via Qualcomm partnership; cloud sync for enterprise tiers.

When to use
Optimised for: on-device visual memory encoding for wearables; episodic recall of past conversations/decisions/experiences; privacy via local processing
Anti-fit: not for cloud-only / non-wearable contexts; not for text-only memory (visual focus); not for users requiring open model weights or auditable consolidation
Pros & cons
Pros
On-device visual encoding addresses cloud-bandwidth/privacy concerns of Humane AI Pin / Rabbit R1; Qualcomm + Nvidia Metropolis partnerships; ex-Meta-Ray-Ban founders bring direct wearable AI experience.
Cons
Closed model (no LVMM benchmarks public); pricing/SDK terms undisclosed; reference-platform model relies on third-party hardware partners shipping; LVMM 2.0 Qualcomm rollout ""later this year"" (2026) — not yet shipping at scale.
Claims & capabilities
World's first Large Visual Memory Model (vendor positioning); on-device inference on Qualcomm processors; Nvidia GTC collaboration uses Cosmos-Reason 2 + Metropolis

Similar systems
Other voice-first / wearable ai memory in the catalog, ranked by inbound references.
- Granola T1
Mac/iOS app (no hardware). Captures meeting audio via system-audio tap (no bot joining); generates notes from your shorthand + audio. Local audio processing claim; cloud for summaries. Enterprise tier opts out of model training.
- Bee T1
Acquired by Amazon (Jul 2025); bee.computer is now © Amazon and sells the Bee Frontier wearable ($74.99), with a Bee Eclipse device marked coming soon. Small wearable (pendant / clip / bracelet). Continuous capture; converts speech to text immediately; never stores raw audio . Daily summaries, personal fact sheet, to-do suggestions. Cloud processing on derived text only.
- Era Computer T5
Software platform / OS layer for AI wearables (glasses, rings, pendants, speakers) that abstracts hardware from AI orchestration. Memory and model providers are pluggable and user-controlled rather than cloud-locked; supports 130+ LLMs from 14+ providers. Founded 2025 by ex-Humane team.
- Friend T1
Pendant necklace (~2 inches). Always-on listening feeds a persistent AI companion persona. Companionship-framed rather than productivity / recall. Cloud LLM backend; no detailed encryption claims.
- Limitless T1
Former Rewind/Limitless lifelog (Pendant wearable + screen/audio capture with timeline search). Acquired by Meta (2025-12); Pendant no longer sold as of 2025-12-05, service withdrawn from the EU, UK, Brazil, China, Israel, South Korea and Turkey on 2025-12-05, desktop/web recording ended and Rewind capture disabled from 2025-12-19; existing Pendant customers supported throughout 2026.
- Omi T1
Wearable orb (necklace or clip) with open-source hardware + firmware. Continuous audio capture; real-time GPT-4o transcription; searchable memory graph. Supports app screen capture too. Hybrid privacy: cloud by default (SOC 2/HIPAA/AES-256), full local/self-hosted available under MIT.
