[Details of OpenAI's First Consumer Device Revealed: Donut-Shaped, Screenless Smart Speaker Priced Over $300] According to monitoring by Beating Insights, insiders have revealed that OpenAI's highly anticipated first consumer-grade device will feature a unique design—a donut-shaped appearance, roughly the size of a hockey puck. It is a screenless smart speaker with movable components to give it a more distinct personality. The design concept aims to allow users to carry the device with one hand and move it around the home. The price is expected to exceed $300. The device is set to launch in 2027 and is positioned as an AI-centric computer capable of assisting users with various tasks. Its distinctive appearance is also expected to help it stand out in the smart speaker category, currently dominated by Amazon and Google. This new hardware provides OpenAI with an opportunity to demonstrate its independent design capabilities—amid ongoing legal disputes between Apple and OpenAI over allegations of intellectual property theft, which OpenAI denies. Insiders indicate that OpenAI ultimately plans to release a series of devices, with this smart speaker seen as a cautious entry point into the hardware market. Other always-online AI devices, such as smart glasses, have already raised privacy concerns. OpenAI's choice to start with a screenless design may make it easier to gain consumer trust.
