OpenAI Targets a Doughnut-Shaped AI Speaker for 2027
Bloomberg reports OpenAI plans a palm-sized, doughnut-shaped AI smart speaker for 2027, priced at $300–$400, featuring moving parts to signal interactivity, indicator lights, a camera and environmental sensors, and wireless portability. It would run advanced models that learn about the user and tailor conversations over time, with design input from LoveFrom and IO. The launch could face privacy concerns and a potential legal hurdle due to an Apple lawsuit, and a first wave could arrive this fall.
