Additionally, Humane revealed that the gadget now has their most recent CosmOS 1.2 software, which adds timers and other previously absent functions.

The first wearable artificial intelligence computer, the AI Pin, was introduced by Humane. However, both regular users and IT professionals have given it unfavorable reviews since its debut. The Humane AI Pin was dubbed the “worst product” by well-known tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee.
Due to the product’s poor performance, Humane has been searching for a possible buyer for its AI Pin company. Humane was reportedly in discussions with HP about selling itself for over $1 billion in June. A recent article stated that returns of the Humane AI Pin have exceeded sales, but there has been no additional information regarding whether the purchase was completed or if the company canceled its sale plan.
The article claims that between May and August, the company received more AI Pin returns every day than it sold. Only 7,000 to 8,000 AI pins are thought to still be in user possession as of August.
