Jony Ive’s first OpenAI hardware device sounds rather like a HomePad

OpenAI’s first AI hardware device is still under wraps, but Greg Brockman’s interview hinted it could be speaker-like and may include a screen.

That has drawn comparisons to Apple’s rumored HomePad, a smart home device that could sit between a smart speaker and a smart display.

The form factor OpenAI chooses will shape how it brings AI into everyday home use and how directly it competes in the smart-home market.
