OpenAI is developing a screenless AI hardware device set to launch in 2027, priced above $300. The gadget—shaped like a doughnut, roughly hockey puck-sized—will function as a smart speaker and interactive companion powered by ChatGPT. Designed with former Apple chief Jony Ive, it's the first in a planned hardware lineup.
The broader bet: Traditional operating systems like Windows and standalone apps may become obsolete as computational GPUs handle tasks directly, no screen required. Instead of clicking through software, users would simply interact with AI that generates and delivers what's needed in real time.
