Humane, which makes the not-great AI Pin, needs different firms to construct AI gadgets and devices that use its CosmOS working system, and it has launched a video that seems to point out that the corporate already has it working in a automotive, TV, good speaker, and cellphone.
However notice that the video, in accordance with Humane’s personal tremendous print, is for “illustrative functions solely” — it reveals “working prototypes” and a few “simulated experiences,” and the print says that each one “designs, options, and specs” are topic to alter. So don’t take it totally at face worth.
In a single instance, the video reveals an individual speaking to CosmOS of their automotive (with a blurred out emblem on the steering wheel) to show the warmth up at their home and determine what time individuals are coming over. They ask their (blurred out) good speaker a couple of guacamole recipe, and their TV about what number of objectives a soccer participant onscreen has scored. The video additionally reveals CosmOS studying an e-mail on the individual’s cellphone and responding to a query about whether or not the individual can attend a gathering.
Should you’ve been following current AI hype, particularly round brokers, none of those examples ought to really feel notably novel — Humane needs to show that CosmOS is able to highly effective agent-like capabilities, and for firms to think about it as a potential spine for his or her gadgets. However the objects on this video aren’t Humane’s personal merchandise, and Humane clearly isn’t promising to make them. It’s constructing an SDK for others to take action.
That CosmOS SDK isn’t accessible publicly but — the corporate’s web site solely says that it’s “coming quickly,” although you possibly can click on a button to “signal as much as construct with us,” which takes you to a type to fill out. Humane doesn’t point out any companions constructing gadgets that depend on CosmOS — the blurred-out logos on the automotive and good speaker recommend the corporate could haven’t gotten that far but. We’ve requested Humane if it might share any examples.
