OpenAI is reportedly developing its first hardware device, a screen-free mobile smart speaker with integrated AI that syncs with ChatGPT and offers personalized home AI services. The device is designed to act as a "humanlike AI companion" that learns about its owner over time and includes mechanical elements that can move independently. Developed with former Apple engineers, this product marks OpenAI's entry into consumer AI hardware, despite ongoing legal disputes with Apple over alleged trade secret theft. OpenAI denies wrongdoing and claims the device is distinct from Apple's offerings. This move reflects growing interest in AI-powered consumer devices in the tech industry.
