Humane's AI Pin is dead, as HP buys startup for $116M

Humane has been acquired by HP for $116 million, leading to the immediate discontinuation of its AI Pin sales. Customers have been notified that their devices will cease functioning by February 28, 2025, and will no longer connect to Humane's servers. The company is advising users to back up their data as customer support will also be dissolved on the same date.

Founded by ex-Apple employees, Humane aimed to replace smartphones with its AI Pin but faced significant challenges, including disappointing reviews and safety concerns. Despite raising over $230 million, the product's returns outpaced sales, prompting HP to acquire Humane's team and technology to enhance its AI capabilities across its product ecosystem.

• HP acquires Humane for $116 million, ending AI Pin sales.

• Humane's AI Pin will stop functioning by February 28, 2025.
