Is OpenAI working on Apple AirPods rival? Leak suggests special audio hardware in pipeline – Firstpost
OpenAI plans to launch Sweetpea AI earbuds by 2028 with a unique design and AI features aiming for 40-50 million units, challenging Apple AirPods dominance.
- OpenAI is reportedly developing an AI-powered earbud called `Sweetpea`, the leak says, positioned as a rival to Apple AirPods under Jony Ive's direction.
- Last year, Sam Altman announced a collaboration with Jony Ive to build AI hardware, and Altman told Emerson Collective some devices could reach the public within two years.

- If the leak holds true, OpenAI is targeting a September 2028 launch with Foxconn preparing five prototype devices and volume projections between 40 and 50 million units.
- OpenAI's move into consumer hardware could reshape user experience, as Sam Altman envisions AI devices that filter information, understand context, and act on users' behalf.
