Jony Ive’s first OpenAI gadget is reportedly a hockey puck-sized smart speaker

OpenAI and Jony Ive are developing a doughnut-shaped, hockey puck-sized smart speaker without a display. Expected to launch in 2027, the battery-powered device will cost between $300 and $400. It features speaker grilles, microphones for ChatGPT voice chats, and moving parts with lights to indicate AI responses. The AI model will provide human-like interactions and learn user preferences over time, utilizing a camera system and sensors to distinguish it from existing smart speakers in the market.
