OpenAI's Secret AI Devices: Speaker, Glasses Planned
20 Feb
Summary
- OpenAI is developing AI devices, including a smart speaker.
- The smart speaker is expected to cost between $200-$300.
- The company acquired a design startup for its hardware ambitions.

OpenAI is reportedly working on a family of AI-powered hardware devices, with a smart speaker expected to be the first product launched. This initiative involves more than 200 individuals focused on creating innovative AI hardware.
The anticipated smart speaker, which may feature a camera to gather user and environmental data, is projected to be priced between $200 and $300. However, its release is not expected until at least February 2027.
Beyond the speaker, OpenAI is also developing other devices, including smart glasses and a smart lamp. Mass production for the smart glasses is tentatively scheduled for 2028. These ventures follow OpenAI's significant $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive's startup, io Products, signaling a strategic push into the physical AI and augmented reality market.
