# Humane AI Pin: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

The Humane AI Pin is discontinued: HP bought the assets (Feb 2025) and shut the servers down. Launched at $499 + $24/mo. The honest post-mortem.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

There is no current price: the AI Pin is discontinued and no longer sold. At launch (April 2024) it was $499 plus a required $24/month subscription, with a $699 variant. DEPLOY records no price points for a product that cannot be bought; the historical pricing is here as record, not an offer.

## Availability

_Status: discontinued_

The AI Pin is discontinued. HP acquired Humane's assets in February 2025 (reported around $116M) and shut the servers down on February 28, 2025, leaving the hardware largely bricked because it depended on Humane's cloud.

## Status

The AI Pin is the canonical failure case of the AI-wearable cohort. It was pitched as an AI-native smartphone replacement, but functional delivery was thin against aggressive AI marketing, and the cloud dependency meant the hardware stopped working when the servers were switched off. Pre-shutdown unit sales were never publicly verified at scale, so DEPLOY asserts no unit count. The verified-vs-claimed framework would have flagged both the unverifiable AI-replacement claims and the structural cloud-dependency risk.
