Multiple outlets report that OpenAI is preparing its first physical device: a screenless, portable smart speaker. Bloomberg, as cited by PYMNTS, describes the product as having a doughnut shape roughly the size of a hockey puck. The device is also reported to include moving parts, and to be designed as an “AI-first computer” that is easier to carry than typical smart speakers.
Mashable similarly reports that the speaker will be doughnut-shaped and that its price is expected to fall around $300. Cult of Mac echoes the same general design and adds detail that moving parts are likely, with an estimated premium price range of $300 to $400. Across reports, the common themes are the unusual doughnut form factor, the absence of a screen, and the expected pricing in the $300–$400 bracket.
The reports rely on unnamed sources and do not provide confirmed release timing or official specifications from OpenAI.
