OpenAI’s new device will be hockey puck-sized and cost over $300
The product — essentially a smart speaker without a display — will be shaped like a doughnut that’s roughly the size of a hockey puck, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the work is confidential. The idea is to make the device easy to carry around the home with one hand.
OpenAI is set to launch a unique new device in 2027, described as a doughnut-shaped smart speaker roughly the size of a hockey puck and priced above $300, according to sources familiar with the matter. The device, which will boast moving parts for added personality and will be battery-powered, will be designed for hand-held use and flexible positioning around the home.
OpenAI aims to differentiate the product from Amazon and Google's current smart speakers, and to avoid resembling Apple's designs, amid a legal dispute over potential intellectual property theft. The device, set to be developed in collaboration with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom studio, will leverage advanced AI models for human-like interactivity and user-specific learning.
