OpenAI’s first hardware device is reportedly a screenless speaker that can move

Bloomberg reports that OpenAI’s first hardware device may be a screenless speaker designed as a physical form of ChatGPT. The device is described as having mechanical parts that can move on their own and is intended to feel more like a companion than a traditional gadget.

The concept suggests OpenAI is exploring ambient AI hardware that moves beyond phones, laptops, and smart displays. If successful, it could push voice assistants toward more personal, embodied experiences, though the lack of a screen may make trust, utility, and privacy harder to manage.
