The first OpenAI device, created in collaboration with Jony Ive, has faced technical difficulties
OpenAI, in partnership with legendary designer Jony Ive (former Apple designer), is working on an innovative hardware product that aims to combine artificial intelligence with premium design. However, reportedly, the development of the device is delayed due to technical issues.
What is known
The device is set to become an AI companion that works autonomously, without the need for a smartphone. It is being developed by LoveFrom (which Ive founded after leaving Apple) in collaboration with OpenAI and with financial backing from SoftBank. The gadget is expected to have an intuitive interface focused on voice interaction and generative AI.
Sources report technical difficulties related to hardware and AI integration. The team has encountered technical difficulties, the nature of which has not been disclosed, but as a result, mass production has been postponed, although the concept has already been formed. The launch was previously planned for 2025, but the timelines have now been revised. Although the source does not provide specific dates, it could happen no earlier than the second quarter of 2026.
