Humane

HP Buys Failed Ai Pin Startup Humane for $116 Million

Humane, the maker of the AI Pin wearable, is acquired by HP for $116 million, marking the end of a promising yet challenging journey for the ambitious tech startup.

Details:

• Humane, founded by ex-Apple vets and backed by $230M, launched its AI Pin in April 2024 but faced criticism, battery issues, and high returns

• The $116M acquisition falls short of Humane's $750M-$1B goal, leading to AI Pin’s shutdown by February 28, 2025, with refunds for recent purchases

• HP will integrate Humane’s team and tech, including CosmOS, into a new division, HP IQ, for future AI workplace solutions

Humane's tech and AI vision will live on through HP’s ecosystem, reshaping how we interact with technology, albeit in a different form.
