China’s Smart Glasses Are Already Leaving Ray-Bans in the Dust

Alibaba's Qwen AI Glasses S1 is pulling ahead of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses with a major update that adds proactive AI features. The glasses can remind users to bring an umbrella, fix their posture, or leave work early based on weather, location, and calendar data. The update also adds ride-hailing, food delivery, and trip planning, making them a stronger competitor in the growing smart glasses market.
