OpenAI has cemented its name in the tech industry through its ChatGPT and flagship AI models like GPT-5.2, but the company is looking do a little bit more, specifically in the hardware landscape.
Last year, the ChatGPT maker made several strategic moves that suggest it could be looking to dabble in hardware development. For context, the firm hired former Apple chief designer Jony Ive to lead operations in its hardware department. It also acquired Ive's AI device startup, io, for approximately $6.5 billion to bolster its advances in the space.
