Woofun AI reports that OpenAI is developing its first consumer hardware, a screenless AI speaker equipped with a battery, camera, and sensors for environmental perception. Positioned as an "AI companion," the device controls smart home systems, manages content, and accesses personal data to learn user preferences over time. It features a self-moving mechanical structure and utilizes GPT-Live for simultaneous listening and speaking. OpenAI intends to unveil the product this year with a 2027 release, though development details remain fluid. An ongoing lawsuit by Apple alleging theft of hardware trade secrets may affect the launch timeline.
