Xiaohu: OpenAI plans to launch 100 million AI "companion" devices

The goal is to ship by the end of next year

According to The Wall Street Journal, Altman previewed to employees the AI hardware device they are developing in collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive.

It is reported that this product will be able to fully perceive the user's environment and life, not interfere with the user, and can be placed in a pocket or on a desk. It will become the third core device people place on the desk after the MacBook Pro and iPhone.

Altman said they plan to launch 100 million artificial intelligence "companion" devices, hoping these devices can integrate into daily life.

Altman said this will be a "family of devices" and mentioned that he appreciates the way Apple has long integrated its hardware and software products. He predicted that OpenAI will deliver a large number of high-quality devices "at a faster pace than any company launching 100 million new devices" and said the goal is to launch the first device by the end of next year.
