Humane Pitches CosmOS AI Software for Integration Across Devices

Following the failure of its AI Pin, Humane is promoting its CosmOS operating system as a flexible AI platform for third-party devices, though its viability remains uncertain.

Humane has shifted focus from its poorly received AI Pin to CosmOS, an AI operating system designed for integration across devices like cars, phones, TVs, and smart speakers.
A promotional video demonstrates CosmOS performing tasks such as managing schedules, retrieving contextual information, and controlling smart home devices, though many of these examples are simulated or prototypes.
The company emphasizes CosmOS’s flexibility, claiming it is device- and AI-model-agnostic, with plans to release a software development kit (SDK) for third-party developers in the future.
Critics remain skeptical, noting that CosmOS is built on the same software that powered the AI Pin, which was criticized for being slow and less effective than existing AI assistants.
Humane has not announced any partnerships or confirmed adoption of CosmOS by other companies, raising questions about its future prospects in a competitive AI assistant market.
