The Story in Brief
OpenAI is building a compact AI smart speaker shaped like a doughnut, expected to launch in 2027 and cost between Rs 29,000 and Rs 30,000, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman as reported by Times Now. The device, designed with Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio, will have no display but include a camera, sensors, and moving parts for natural conversations. It will be roughly the size of a hockey puck and learn user preferences over time, using premium materials.
The report comes amid a legal dispute between OpenAI and Apple, with Apple claiming trade secret violations. OpenAI denies the allegations, stating it is building something entirely new. The device is expected to compete with existing smart speakers, focusing on advanced AI voice interactions.
The Indian Opinion
The doughnut-shaped speaker is being billed as a leap forward, but it is essentially a voice assistant with a premium price tag. OpenAI's legal fight with Apple raises questions about originality. Without a screen, the device must prove its voice-first approach is truly better than a smartphone. The real test: will users pay Rs 30,000 for a conversational device when they already have ChatGPT on their phones?
