Operai pushed the generative AI to public consciousness. Now, I could be developing a very different type of AI device.
According to a WSJ reportThe Operai CEO, Sam Altman, told the employees on Wednesday that the next important product of the company will not be portable. Instead, it will be a compact and screenless device, fully aware of its user’s environment. Small enough to sit on a desk or fit in a pocket, Altman described it as a “third core device” along with a Macbook Pro and iPhone, and an “AI Companion” integrated into daily life.
The previous view followed Openai’s announcement that he will acquire IO, a startup founded last year by former Apple Jony Ive designer, in a Capital Agreement of $ 6.5 billion. IVE will assume a creative and key design role in Operai.
According to reports, Altman told employees that the acquisition could eventually add $ 1 billion in market value to the company, since it creates a new category of devices unlike Hand hand, Wearableeither glasses that other outfits have been deployed.
According to reports, Altman also emphasized staff that the secret will be critical to prevent competitors from copying the product before launch. It turns out that a recording of his comments leaked to the Journal, asking questions about how much he can trust his own team and how much more he will be willing to reveal.
