Bloomberg reports that OpenAI is developing a screenless smart speaker powered by ChatGPT, targeting a 2027 release. The device will feature a camera, sensors, a rechargeable battery, smart home controls, and OpenAI's GPT-Live voice model. Bloomberg says it will include mechanical elements designed to "connect on a humanlike level with users." The speaker is part of a broader hardware lineup of roughly five devices. The report follows Apple's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of stealing hardware secrets, which OpenAI disputes.
