Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Hands-On: You Can Forget About Gen 1 Now

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-19 22:22:29

Smart glasses with displays in them may be the future, but for now, Meta seems to understand that not everyone is willing to spend $800 on a pair. And for those people, it now has Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), a sequel to its surprisingly popular AI and camera-equipped smart glasses, which are designed in tandem with EssilorLuxottica, the owner of the eyewear brand. I already have a pair of the $379 second-gen glasses, which were announced at Meta Connect this week, and while I haven’t had a chance to

Meta CTO explains the cause of its embarrassing smart glasses demo failures

When Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta's latest smart glasses at the company's Connect 2025 keynote, he encountered two glitches that prevented him from properly demonstrating some of the devices' features. Now, Meta's Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Bosworth, said in an AMA on Instagram that they were demo failures and not actual product failures. The first glitch took place in the middle of a live demo with a cooking content creator, who asked Live AI for instructions on how to make a Korean-ins

I've been testing smart glasses for almost a decade. And in that time, one of the questions I've been asked the most is "oh, but can you see anything in them?" For years, I had to explain that no, glasses like that don't really exist yet. That's no longer the case. And while I've seen a bunch of glasses over the last year that have some kind of display, the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses feel the closest to fulfilling what so many people envision when they hear the words "smart glasses."

We Finally Know How Much It Cost to Train China’s Astonishing DeepSeek Model

Remember when DeepSeek briefly shook up the entire artificial intelligence industry by launching its large language model, R1, that was trained for a fraction of the money that OpenAI and other big players were pouring into their models? Thanks to a new paper published by the DeepSeek AI team in the journal Nature, we finally know what it took to train DeepSeek 1: $294,000 and 512 Nvidia H800 chips. The reason it was able to spend less, it seems, is because of the team’s use of trial-and-error-b

DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors

The world’s countries may have pledged to cut its carbon pollution, but with global emissions reaching an all-time high last year they’ve fallen far short. Digging out of that hole is going to require removing carbon straight from the atmosphere. But it comes with a hefty price tag, mostly because of the energy required. Removing one metric ton of CO 2 using direct air capture is expected to require around 2,000 kWh of electricity when the technology is sorted and scaled up. One startup called
