OpenAI has long been rumoured to foray into the consumer hardware business with an AI-powered device. While the rumour mill previously claimed that the ChatGPT maker could introduce an AI headset as its first-ever hardware device, a recent leak suggests otherwise. According to a report, the company is developing a portable, screen-free smart speaker that could serve as an AI-powered home companion. The purported AI device is expected to run on a rechargeable battery, allowing it to be carried between rooms.
