OpenAI의 '살아있는' 스피커, Apple 소송으로 2027년 출시 연기 위기
OpenAI는 움직이는 기계 부품과 GPT-live 음성 모드를 갖춘 스크린 없는 스피커의 프로토타입을 개발 중이지만, Apple의 영업비밀 소송이 예정된 2027년 출시를 위협하고 있다.
openai's first hardware device is a portable, screenless speaker equipped with a camera and self-moving mechanical parts to create a lifelike presence, powered by the new low-latency gpt-live voice mode. designed as a proactive 'home computer for the ai era' that can anticipate needs and control smart environments, the project faces a 2027 launch timeline jeopardized by apple's trade secrets lawsuit targeting openai's hardware lead. this legal challenge, centering on alleged poaching and data theft, seeks an injunction that could stall the device's release despite openai's denials. the speaker represents the first of roughly five hardware explorations from the ai giant, which is also exploring phone replacements and robotics.
