OpenAI’s first AI hardware device will be…

The report says OpenAI will debut the lineup with a compact sized smart speaker which is likely to run on battery and much smaller than the Google Nest Mini or even the Apple HomePod Mini version. Apple’s ex design chief Jony Ive has been roped in for the design of these devices, and the report suggests we could see some of the Ive imprint on them, including the premium feel and quality of the product.

The bigger concern or intrigue around this device is the price and the report claims OpenAI will launch it for around $300 (Rs 27,800 approx) and $400 (Rs 37,400 approx) which makes it a lot more premium than most of the smart speakers available in the market till date.

Not your regular smart speaker 

OpenAI doesn’t plan on making it like the run of the mill smart speakers from other brands. Instead, you could see the device with cameras, mic to understand the surroundings around the person and interact in the voice-first interface.

The hardware device plans from OpenAI have been around for a while but these are the most clear details we have seen and the report suggests the first product could be part of a broader lineup that will gradually get beefed up to supplement the ChatGPT subscriber and business growth.
