Sam Altman recently confirmed that OpenAI is indeed developing a physical AI device. This device may be a device co-developed by Jony Ive and it is confirmed that it will not resemble a smartphone.

At the same time, this device will also be powered by OpenAI's own custom-designed chip. Through The Elec, Sam Altman shared that their physical AI device will focus on the use of voice commands rather than traditional controls. Then the device is said to be being developed in collaboration with many different technology companies.
If we look at the current market, physical AI devices such as the Rabbit R1 and the Human A.I Pin are examples of failures. However, devices such as the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses have become a hit, with over 1 million units sold. If OpenAI offers a physical ChatGPT device with a unique and useful design, will you buy it or will you stick to using AI in smartphones only?
