OpenAI reportedly building donut-shaped ChatGPT smart speaker for homes

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.
