Report shares new pricing and design details about OpenAI’s first device

OpenAI's first smart device, initially reported to be a battery-powered portable speaker with a camera, sensors, and mechanical elements, now has additional details regarding its pricing and design. Bloomberg has published a report with more information about its form factor and price. The device is expected to be priced between $300 and $400 per unit, and its premium look will incorporate upscale materials such as high-quality metal.

The speaker, which resembles a doughnut roughly the size of a hockey puck, will not have a display and will be designed to work in various positions, including in the user's hand or on furniture around the house. Its moving parts aim to make it feel more alive, while advanced AI models will facilitate natural, humanlike voice interactions similar to ChatGPT's recently revamped voice mode.

OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss Apple's lawsuit, arguing that Apple failed to identify specific trade secrets or plausibly allege improper conduct by OpenAI. Bloomberg notes that the reported form factor is unique among current smart speakers, which are dominated by Amazon and Google. However, it remains unclear whether Apple's allegation of using premium metal relates to this device, another product, or a discarded concept.
