OpenAI reportedly building donut-shaped ChatGPT smart speaker for homes
A company called OpenAI that makes ChatGPT might be building a new kind of smart speaker for homes.
A smart speaker is a small machine that can talk to you and play music when you ask.
This one might be shaped like a donut, with a round hole in the middle.
It would be made of fancy metal and could be carried from room to room.
You could put it on your nightstand, kitchen counter, or desk.
It would be a special home for ChatGPT, so you could talk to the AI anywhere in the house.
The speaker might cost between $300 and $400, which is more than most speakers cost.
A famous designer named Jony Ive is reportedly helping to design it.
It might come out in 2027.
But the company hasn't officially said any of this is true yet.
OpenAI is reportedly developing a premium ChatGPT-powered smart speaker priced between $300 and $400, according to Bloomberg.
The device is said to feature a donut-shaped design made from high-quality metal and is intended to be portable around the home.
The speaker is reportedly being designed with Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio and is expected to launch in 2027.
Unlike traditional smart speakers, the device is meant to serve as a physical home for ChatGPT, usable on bedside tables, kitchen counters or desks.
OpenAI has not officially confirmed the device's design or pricing, and the report notes it will include 'moving parts' of unclear purpose.
