- OpenAI is reportedly developing a smartphone chipset, which teases the possibility of a full-blown OpenAI-powered smartphone
- If it comes to fruition, it probably won't launch before 2028
- This chipset (or phone) could reduce the focus on apps and instead give you access to an agentic AI
Claims that OpenAI is working on some consumer hardware are nothing new, but previously, it was thought that this hardware wouldn’t be a phone, but possibly smart glasses, a digital voice recorder, a wearable pin, or a smart speaker instead. Now, though, it seems OpenAI might be working on a mobile device after all — or at the very least, a mobile chipset.
