Bloomberg reports OpenAI is developing a doughnut-shaped, hockey-puck-sized ChatGPT speaker designed by Jony Ive that will have no display and will cost roughly $300 to $400. The battery-powered device will include speaker grilles, microphones, lights to show listening, moving parts that indicate responses, and a camera and sensors to gather information about the user's environment. OpenAI plans the product as an AI-centric, portable conversational device that learns about users over time. Bloomberg says OpenAI hopes to introduce the hardware later this year with a broader launch in 2027. The report notes Apple has accused OpenAI of using Apple-derived metal finishing techniques in a trade-secrets lawsuit, while OpenAI says it is building something entirely different from Apple.
