- OpenAI is working with Jony Ive to produce its first hardware, a smart speaker launching next year and not released before March 2027, The Information reports.
- Last May, OpenAI’s acquisition of Jony Ive’s hardware company for nearly $6.5 billion underpins the hardware push, with LoveFrom leading design and OpenAI’s internal devices team building the products.
