The Humane AI pin offers users the ability to utilize generative AI in real-world applications. It can be easily attached to clothing and allows for conversations and the projection of chatbot responses onto various surfaces, commonly the palm of the hand. The inner workings of the compact square pin have been revealed in a recent report by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), providing detailed photographs and a close-up of its Snapdragon processor. To ensure compliance with regulations before public release, the FCC certifies devices utilizing wireless communications, affixing an FCC mark to the approved products.

As part of the review process, the FCC often disassembles the device for inspection of its internal components. Previous knowledge indicated that the AI pin operates on Snapdragon, with no specific version mentioned. However, the FCC's photos suggest that the pin utilizes a Snapdragon 720G processor, known for its capability to efficiently run on-device AI with minimal power consumption on mobile devices. This chip is one of the smaller options available capable of handling AI compute tasks.
