Humane, which makes the not-great AI Pin, needs different corporations to construct AI units and devices that use its CosmOS working system, and it has launched a video that seems to indicate that the corporate already has it working in a automobile, TV, good speaker, and cellphone.
However notice that the video, in response to Humane’s personal wonderful print, is for “illustrative functions solely” — it exhibits “working prototypes” and a few “simulated experiences,” and the print says that every one “designs, options, and specs” are topic to vary. So don’t take it solely at face worth.
In a single instance, the video exhibits an individual speaking to CosmOS of their automobile (with a blurred out brand 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 few guacamole recipe, and their TV about what number of targets a soccer participant onscreen has scored. The video additionally exhibits CosmOS studying an e mail on the particular person’s cellphone and responding to a query about whether or not the particular person can attend a gathering.
When you’ve been following latest AI hype, particularly round brokers, none of those examples ought to really feel significantly novel — Humane needs to show that CosmOS is able to highly effective agent-like capabilities, and for corporations to think about it as a attainable spine for his or her units. 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 out there publicly but — the firm’s web site solely says that it’s “coming quickly,” although you’ll be able to 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 units that depend on CosmOS — the blurred-out logos on the automobile and good speaker recommend the corporate could haven’t gotten that far but. We’ve requested Humane if it might probably share any examples.
