OpenAI's First Device is a Screenless Smart Speaker with Cameras, Bloomberg Reports

The device will use cameras, sensors and GPT-Live voice software to personalize responses and control home appliances, Bloomberg reported.

  • On Tuesday, Bloomberg News reported that OpenAI plans to launch a portable, screen-free smart speaker as its first consumer hardware product, designed to act as a humanlike AI companion within the home.
  • Apple filed a lawsuit last week accusing OpenAI of orchestrating a broad effort to exploit confidential information through former employees and recruiting practices to accelerate its consumer hardware push.
  • Described by sources as having a "personality," the device can proactively learn about its owner; it incorporates "mechanical elements that can move on their own" and serves as a physical manifestation of ChatGPT.
  • Citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg writes that OpenAI feels its product "veers significantly from anything Apple has on the market today" and is "unlikely that it violates trade secrets" belonging to Apple.
  • OpenAI paid $6.5 billion last year to acquire a startup from former design chief Jony Ive to develop devices for the generative AI era, positioning the project to open a new revenue line for the IPO-bound company.
