OpenAI Developing AI-Powered Speaker with Jony Ive

OpenAI is developing a new AI device in partnership with former Apple designer Jony Ive, with an anticipated launch in 2027 priced above $300. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman's sources, the battery-powered device resembles a hockey puck and features independently moving parts that indicate when the device is responding or interacting with users. The hardware includes lights, a camera system, and various sensors. Designed for portability around the home, the device functions as a smart speaker without a display and will have a distinctive appearance with moving components.
