That's a blow to Humane and its hopes of selling an entirely new category of hardware, but the failure of the Ai Pin isn't just about Humane, it's about the future of AI hardware. While Humane's pin wasn't the only AI gadget on the scene, it was by far the most high profile.

Plus: Apple’s visionOS 2.4 makes it easier for guests to use the Vision Pro, Eero has two new Wi-Fi 7 routers, Oppo’s folding phone is the slimmest yet, and Omega drops a bronze Bond watch.

"Your Ai Pin will continue to function normally until 12 pm PST on February 28, 2025," Humane said in the statement. "After this date, it will no longer connect to Humane's servers, and .Center access will be fully retired."
