Humane shut the Pin’s servers down in February 2025. Max Maeder’s OpenPin replaces the assistant with one owners can run, installed in a few clicks and without Humane’s ADB certificates.
PenumbraOS goes the other way: it uses Humane’s leaked certificate and an Android exploit to get near-system access, and is meant for developers. OpenPin aims at owners who just want the Pin working again.
- ai
- No AI use documented in building it. The revived Pin runs an AI assistant, which is the product, not how it was made.
- caveats
- Installing still needs a DIY interposer: a small pogo-pin USB board ordered from a PCB maker and a 3D-printed cradle. No commits since May 2025. Humane warned owners to stop using the Pin's charging case over a fire risk.
- evidence
- Public code + hardware files, press coverage.
