OpenAI plans to launch 100 million AI "companion" devices, aiming to ship by the end of next year

ChainCatcher news, according to The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previewed to employees a device he is developing in collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive.

Altman revealed that they plan to launch 100 million AI "companion" devices, hoping these devices can integrate into daily life. It is reported that the product will be able to fully perceive the user's environment and life, will not interfere with the user, and can be placed in a pocket or on a desk, becoming the third core device people place on their desks after the MacBook Pro and iPhone.

Altman stated that this will be a "family of devices" and mentioned that he appreciates Apple's long-standing integration of hardware and software products. He predicts that OpenAI will deliver a large number of high-quality devices "faster than any company launching 100 million new devices" and stated that the goal is to launch the first device by the end of next year.
