OpenAI's first hardware product is a screenless AI speaker designed to feel alive

OpenAI is developing a screenless AI speaker with a camera, sensors, and moving parts to make it feel alive, powered by its new GPT-Live voice mode. The device, described as a "new type of home computer," aims to anticipate user needs and control smart home gadgets, with a planned 2027 launch potentially delayed by Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit. OpenAI denies the allegations, calling Apple’s claims meritless.
