Despite the ongoing legal battle with Apple, OpenAI is reportedly on track to unveil its first hardware device later this year. The device is described as an AI speaker, similar to Amazon's Alexa or Apple's HomePod, designed to be a personal AI assistant. OpenAI is also planning a family of related devices, potentially including earbuds and wearable technology, though not a phone.
“I mean, the latest I've heard and that others have reported is that they definitely are on track for an unveil sometime later this year of the first device, which is supposedly going to be this kind of Alexa HomePod like AI speaker that's been in development.”
“Essentially has like an AI personality, maybe your AI chief of staff kind of way.”
“And then obviously they have a family of devices. And I think we're going to see, probably some kinds of earbuds, maybe a wrist thing, some glasses. They're not going to do a phone.”
