The excitement around the Humane AI Pin has faded.
The withering of Humane’s fortunes has more significant implications for another AI rig, theRabbits R1.
There are plenty of reasons why Humane may have failed, though I have a few theories.
The biggest reason may have been a lack of features people wanted.
Rabbit should be taking notes.
Rabbit hole
I think the R1 can survive if Rabbit makes the right moves.
That includes upgrading the R1s Large Action Model (LAM) AI engine.
It needs to be instant and accurate when booking a ride, answering a question, or summarizing emails.
Ultimately, Rabbit needs to work out its positioning.
Right now, its unclear who the R1 is for.
Is it a productivity tool?
A digital assistant for busy professionals?
A toy for tech enthusiasts?
And lets not forget developers.
A strong developer ecosystem could turn the R1 from a novelty into a platform.
The Rabbit R1 isnt doomed yet, but it is at a crossroads.
It risks becoming another Humane AI Pin, an ambitious but ultimately forgettable attempt at AI hardware.
