What to know

At the AWE tech show in June 2025, Qualcomm showed test glasses running Meta's Llama AI model on its AR1+ chip. The AI ran on the glasses themselves, with no phone or internet doing the work.

Qualcomm did not name any product that would use it. On the glasses Meta sells now, The Verge showed a feature called Conversation Focus working with no internet connection.

One analyst said that if Gen 3 can do this, some questions could be answered right on the glasses. No report ties the chip to Gen 3.

Frequently asked

Would Gen 3 run AI without the cloud or a phone?
It might. A small on-device model (reported as Llama 1B) could run on a newer chip and answer some queries locally, cutting delay. This depends on a chip that is not confirmed.
