OpenAI’s new AI smart speaker will reportedly sell for between $300 and $400
Additional details about OpenAI's mysterious new AI device make it sound like a pricey smart speaker.
OpenAI is set to unveil a new AI smart speaker, described as a "donut-shaped" device that can be moved around the home. Bloomberg reports that the device, constructed from high-quality metal with a premium look, may have moving parts and could retail between $300 and $400 per unit. This price point is significantly higher than most Amazon smart home speakers, which range from $40 to $240.
The device, developed in partnership with design studio LoveFrom, is expected to launch in 2027. OpenAI's foray into hardware has been met with challenges, including a lawsuit from tech giant Apple for alleged trade secret theft, which OpenAI has denied.
