OpenAI компани ChatGPT-тэй холбогдож, гэрийн орчинд туслах үүрэг гүйцэтгэх, дэлгэцгүй ухаалаг чанга яригч бүхий анхны төхөөрөмжөө хөгжүүлж эхэлжээ.
Bloomberg агентлагийн мэдээлснээр, уг төхөөрөмж нь хэрэглэгчийн цахим шуудан зэрэг мэдээлэлд тулгуурлан хувь хүний хэрэгцээнд тохирсон үйлчилгээ үзүүлэх “хүнлэг” шинж чанартай байх аж. Төхөөрөмж нь өөрөө хөдлөх чадвартай механик элементүүдийг агуулсан бөгөөд ChatGPT-ийн биет илрэл болох зорилготой юм. Хөгжүүлэлтийн багт iPhone болон Mac төхөөрөмжүүдийг бүтээлцсэн Apple-ийн хуучин инженерүүд голлох үүрэгтэй оролцож байна.
Гэсэн хэдий ч OpenAI энэхүү төхөөрөмжтэй холбоотой эрх зүйн маргаантай тулгарч байна. Өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт Apple компани OpenAI-ийг худалдааны нууц хулгайлсан хэмээн шүүхэд өгсөн бөгөөд уг асуудал нь мөсөн уулын орой төдий гэж мэдэгдсэн юм. OpenAI нь буруутай үйлдлээ эрс үгүйсгэж, өөрсдийн бүтээгдэхүүн нь Apple-ийн зах зээл дээрх бүтээгдэхүүнүүдээс эрс ялгаатай тул худалдааны нууц зөрчөөгүй гэж үзэж байна.
Технологийн салбарт хэрэглээний AI төхөөрөмжийн эрэлт нэмэгдэж байгаатай холбоотойгоор энэ төрлийн стартапууд ихээхэн хөрөнгө оруулалт татаж байна. Тухайлбал, Брэтт Адкокийн үүсгэн байгуулсан Hark стартап нь хүн ба машины хоорондох бүх нийтийн интерфейсийг бүтээх зорилгоор 5 дугаар сард 6 тэрбум ам.долларын үнэлгээтэйгээр 700 сая ам.долларын санхүүжилт босгосон юм.

OpenAI’s first foray into hardware devices is reported to be a mobile smart speaker with integrated AI capabilities that can sync with ChatGPT and provide other home AI services.
Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the device — which is still currently under development — is designed to be screen-free and is being pitched internally as a “humanlike AI companion that lives in the home.”
OpenAI has long claimed that it wants to launch a hardware product — with some rumors being that it wants to launch its own phone, a move that would put it in competition with Apple.
OpenAI’s newly surfaced device sounds like something of a departure from traditional smart speakers — as sources described the device to Bloomberg as having a “personality” and being able to proactively learn about its owner over time, providing more personalized service. The machine would have access to a user’s digital life, drawing off things like emails, sources said.
The device is also weirdly described as involving “mechanical elements that can move on their own” and the Bloomberg report includes the detail that the device is designed to “feel like a companion and become a physical manifestation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.”
The device was developed with help from many former Apple engineers who were instrumental in “creating products such as the iPhone and Mac,” Bloomberg writes. Indeed, OpenAI may be attempting to launch a new hardware line, but the company is currently up to its eyeballs in trouble over hardware-related legal problems.
Apple last week sued OpenAI, accusing the AI company of stealing its trade secrets. Apple further claimed that the allegations involved in the suit are merely“the tip of the iceberg” and that more misconduct will be revealed during the legal discovery process. OpenAI has denied wrongdoing.
Citing anonymous sources with knowledge of OpenAI’s plans, Bloomberg writes that the company feels its new product “veers significantly from anything Apple has on the market today” and that it is “unlikely that it violates trade secrets” belonging to Apple.
OpenAI’s push comes as the tech world grows more excited about consumer AI hardware more broadly. Hark, an AI lab founded by Brett Adcock, raised an oversubscribed $700 million Series A back in May at a $6 billion valuation to build what it calls “personal intelligence” — proprietary AI models paired with custom hardware designed as a “universal interface between humans and machines.”
The company hasn’t yet detailed its device’s form factor, underscoring how much capital is chasing this category even before products ship.
