Humane has fallen into the loss of AI hype, and traditional technology company HP is here to scratch anything left of AI wearables. HP purchased Humane's Cosmos operating system and IP for $116 million, including the technology of AI PIN. Sales mean the end of humanity. Unfortunately for any winding AI pin owner, your device will be effectively bricked by February 28.
That $116 million sounds a lot until you remember Humane was once worth $850 million. The initial sale price of the AI device maker is reportedly close to $1 billion. At the end On Tuesday, HP announced that it had obtained humane OS, “high-skilled technicians” 300 patents and patent applications. Tuan Tran, former president of Tuan Tran, the company’s printing division and a new lead in the company’s AI efforts, said in a press release that the acquisition will “quickly accelerate our development of a new generation. The cloud of devices’ capabilities. “This means HP is looking to develop its own suite of AI-centric devices.
Not only that, HP also wants to incorporate humane cosmic operating systems into everything from its PC to “smart printers and connected meeting rooms.” Are you frustrated by getting an office printer? Imagine it now runs using an AI chatbot. Tran told Bloomberg that the universe’s ability to use device-based and cloud-based AI models impressed him. It sounds like Google, Apple, Microsoft and all other major tech companies are promoting their latest products. HP just wants to slice it with proprietary AI technology.
Humane has been looking for sale a few months after launching its original product, the AI PIN. The initial review found that the device was ineffective in what it should do, i.e. a personal wearable assistant to help you ignore your phone. At launch, the device's AI was slow to respond and was prone to errors. Humane launched its device last April, but in the next few months Can't move as many devices as possible. Later, Humane had to recall its charging case, warning that it was a possible fire hazard.
By selling, Humane no longer sells other pins. In a message sent to customers, the company said that all pins will be stopped only 10 days after sales on February 28. The support file details how humanitarian requires customers to download any stored images or videos by the deadline. According to the FAQ, the only feature that can continue to work is the ability to ask about its battery level. Current owners must receive a refund by February 27; if you want to replace the battery pack, you will receive a refund for the device.
Last October, the AI Wearable Corporate Hub focused solely on the universe as an AI operating system and tried to license it to other businesses with SDKs. Cosmos promotes its AI proxy capabilities, essentially the ability to run multiple AI models to complete complex tasks. The company’s founders promote how the operating system “remembers” previous conversations and activities.
Former Apple staff who headed to Humane, Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno are moving to HP. Bloomberg reports that they will lead the new division within HP. This will focus on the AI of existing devices and may not be wearables centered around AI. So far, we have not come across an AI-specific device that can do anything, rather than what a smartphone can achieve. This doesn't mean that big companies haven't tried it. We hope to see AI wearables from the smaller brands of Yuanhe this year. We will see if they have been humanely burned enough customers (literally and figuratively) burned their lessons.
