The Li Auto AI glasses Livis were officially launched, empowered by the AI imaging solution of Black Sesame Intelligence.
On December 3rd, Li Auto's first AI glasses, Livis, were officially unveiled, attracting extensive attention from the industry and the market. This time, Black Sesame Intelligence and Li Auto have carried out in - depth cooperation to develop an AI imaging solution. It encompasses imaging algorithms such as HDR fusion, MFNR multi - frame noise reduction, video EIS anti - shake, night scene enhancement, and portrait beautification, comprehensively covering high - frequency user scenarios like night scenes and portraits, and bringing users an excellent imaging experience.
As an important extended carrier of Li Auto's AI capabilities, Li Auto's AI glasses, Livis, are committed to achieving a smart experience of "seamless connection inside and outside the vehicle". Li Xiang, the chairman and CEO of Li Auto, even praised Livis as "the best AI accessory of Li Auto". During the R & D process of Li Auto's AI glasses Livis, the technical team of Black Sesame Intelligence and the technical team of Li Auto carried out in - depth cooperation for seven months. Through the "point - to - point" seamless docking mode, they efficiently promoted the project progress and helped the new product be launched on schedule.
Fan Haoyu, the senior vice - president of the product department of Li Auto, said, "Li Auto's AI glasses, Livis, are an important implementation carrier of our strategy of'seamless smart experience inside and outside the vehicle', which is of great significance. With its professional technical strength and efficient cooperation attitude, Black Sesame Intelligence has provided solid imaging technology support for the product. The in - depth cooperation between the two sides not only guarantees the core experience of Livis but also brings users a better and more consistent usage experience."
Regarding this cooperation, Yang Yuxin, the chief marketing officer of Black Sesame Intelligence, said, "AI imaging technology is an important part of the AI glasses experience and also a technical field where Black Sesame Intelligence has been deeply involved for many years. For the customized solution for Li Auto's Livis this time, we have invested our core algorithm team. Every step is to make technology truly serve user needs. The cooperation with Li Auto is a successful practice of cross - border technology integration and also proves the great potential of AI imaging technology in the field of smart wearables. In the future, we will continue to use technological innovation as a fulcrum to help more ecological partners create benchmark products."
To achieve the optimal balance between effect and power consumption, Livis adopts a distributed processing solution, where the glasses and the mobile phone perform collaborative computing. To improve the post - processing speed, Black Sesame Intelligence focuses on optimizing the algorithm performance and memory usage. On the premise of ensuring the imaging effect, it compresses the algorithm time as much as possible. Black Sesame Intelligence conducts customized configuration based on diverse usage scenarios and achieves optimization in multiple core dimensions of images and videos, such as detail enhancement, noise processing, and portrait enhancement. In addition, the Li Auto's Ideal Mate app and Black Sesame Intelligence's algorithm SDK are deeply coordinated, enabling Livis to be widely compatible with mainstream mobile phone platforms such as Qualcomm, MTK, and Kirin, as well as the three major operating systems of Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS, covering a larger user group.
In fact, Black Sesame Intelligence has been deeply involved in the field of AI imaging for many years. Its solutions cover multiple core directions such as traditional image algorithms, AI image algorithms, and biometric algorithms. It has reached cooperation with enterprises such as Samsung, Lenovo, MOTO, Honor, Transsion, Kyocera, Sharp, HP, Shenmu, TMO, and many overseas operators. The cumulative number of devices equipped with its technology has exceeded 500 million, and its technical maturity and market coverage have been widely verified by the industry.
With unique advantages such as first - person perspective recording, hands - free operation, and all - day convenient wearing, AI glasses have become a key bridge connecting the digital world and the physical world and are regarded by the industry as the core entrance for the next - generation human - machine interaction. Currently, the AI glasses market is in a period of rapid growth. According to Counterpoint data, in the first half of 2025, the proportion of global AI glasses shipments in the total shipments of smart glasses has reached 78%, continuing to rise after 46% in the first half of 2024 and 66% in the second half of 2024, and the market potential is continuously being released.
The successful launch of Livis marks that Li Auto has successfully achieved a cross - border breakthrough from the smart car field to the smart wearable device field. By providing the core AI imaging solution for this new product, Black Sesame Intelligence has also achieved a "breakthrough" of great industry significance. In the future, AI glasses are expected to trigger a new round of transformation in the digital lifestyle paradigm. Black Sesame Intelligence will continue to cooperate with ecological partners, driven by technological innovation, to jointly promote the high - quality development of the industry.
