OpenAI's anticipated AI wearable device, a collaboration with celebrated designer Sir Jony Ive, is slated for unveiling by the end of 2026. Chris Lehane, OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer, confirmed the timeline at a recent panel.
Details about the screen-free AI companion remain under wraps, fueling speculation. Foreign publications and leakers suggest OpenAI may be developing AI-powered wireless earbuds, potentially competing with Apple's AirPods.
These rumors point to a device codenamed 'Sweet Pea,' allegedly manufactured by Foxconn, featuring an open-style design and advanced AI capabilities.
