New details have emerged about OpenAI’s first consumer device: a compact, screenless smart speaker shaped like a doughnut that fits in the palm. The metal-bodied gadget was designed with LoveFrom, the studio of former Apple design chief Jony Ive. It packs microphones, speakers, light indicators, a camera, and sensors to see and hear its surroundings, plus moving elements that physically react to requests and express its state through motion and light. Interaction is built on ChatGPT’s voice mode, with the AI gradually learning the owner’s habits. The device is expected to launch in 2027 at an estimated price of $300–400.
