OpenAI’s push into consumer hardware gained momentum after its $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s io startup and confirmation from global affairs chief Chris Lehane in January 2026 that the company remained on track for a late-2026 debut. Recent reporting has clarified the first major device as a screenless, battery-powered smart speaker roughly the size of a hockey puck, featuring cameras, moving mechanical elements for personality, and deep integration with advanced ChatGPT voice models. This follows Apple’s decision to favor Google’s Gemini for Siri and an ongoing lawsuit from Apple alleging trade-secret misappropriation that could affect timelines. Supply-chain details point to Foxconn manufacturing and ambitious first-year volume targets, while a narrower Codex Micro keypad already shipped in July 2026 as a proof-of-concept. Traders are watching for any official unveiling or further slips before year-end.

A "consumer hardware product" is defined as a physical device intended for direct use by individual consumers, rather than enterprise or developer tools. The product must be newly introduced and not a rebrand, update, or iteration of any previously released device.
Examples that would qualify include an AI-powered wearable, smart home assistant, or augmented reality device. Developer tools, AI chips, or servers marketed exclusively for enterprise use would not qualify.
The resolution source will be official information from OpenAI.
