What Is OpenAI’s Device? A Doughnut-Shaped Speaker That Costs Over $300

OpenAI is developing a battery-powered, doughnut-shaped smart speaker designed in collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive. The portable device, roughly the size of a hockey puck, reportedly features moving parts and is expected to launch in 2027 with a price exceeding $300. This project marks OpenAI’s first move into hardware, shifting its focus from software-based AI models to a physical product intended to function without a display.
