Multiple outlets report that OpenAI is developing a smart speaker with a ring-shaped design and built-in AI features, and that it would be priced between $300 and $400. Engadget and TechCrunch both describe the device as part of OpenAI’s broader push into AI-powered hardware, characterizing the projected price as relatively high for a smart speaker. The reporting does not indicate a confirmed launch date or final pricing, and details remain limited and based on leaks or unspecified information rather than official confirmation. The two sources align on the main points that the product is a smart speaker, it uses AI, it is shaped like a ring, and its expected retail price range falls within the same $300–$400 window. Until OpenAI provides official information, the pricing and specifications should be treated as unverified.
