OpenAI is venturing into consumer hardware, developing a smart speaker, smart glasses, and even a smart lamp. With over 200 employees working on the project, the first device—a ChatGPT-powered smart speaker with a built-in camera—is expected by early 2027. The move follows OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s startup.
