The post relays a Bloomberg report: OpenAI is building a screenless, camera-equipped, portable AI companion device, internally called 'a computer made for AI'.
It's reportedly a battery-powered smart speaker form that can control home appliances, play media, send messages, and understand surroundings via camera and sensors. It's designed to become more human-like and proactive, even reading emails to predict user needs. The device includes moving mechanical elements to enhance the 'alive' feel. It uses GPT-Live for simultaneous listening and speaking, designed by LoveFrom. OpenAI plans to announce this year and ship in 2027, but Apple's trade secret lawsuit may cause delays.
