Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that the AI device OpenAI is building with former Apple design chief Jony Ive is "essentially a smart speaker without a display" — battery-powered, doughnut-shaped, and roughly the size of a hockey puck, per The Verge's writeup of the report. Gurman says it will have a unique look and is expected to land in 2027 at a price over $300.
This is a single-sourced rumor, not an announcement. There are no specs, no launch date beyond the year, and no confirmation from OpenAI. Treat the shape, the price and the timing as Gurman's reporting rather than product fact.
