Overview
- Sabi announced a brain‑computer interface beanie that it says will let users turn imagined speech into on‑screen text, with a year‑end launch goal and a public waitlist.
- The wearable uses electroencephalography, placing metal sensors on the scalp, and the company claims 70,000 to 100,000 sensors to pull clearer signals through skin and bone.
- Sabi says it trained a shared “brain foundation model” on about 100,000 hours of recordings from 100 volunteers to help the system work across many users.
- The startup targets about 30 words per minute at first use, and none of the stated performance or timelines have been independently verified.
- Sabi highlights privacy and reliability concerns, saying cloud data will be end‑to‑end encrypted and audited by neurosecurity experts, as EEG systems still face weak signals and day‑to‑day variability.
