Title: OpenAI Targets 100 Million AI Device Shipments in Record Time After
$6.5 Billion Deal

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees Wednesday the company plans to ship 100
million AI "companion" devices as part of what he called "the chance to do
the biggest thing we've ever done as a company here," according to WSJ.
Speaking at an internal meeting, Altman said the $6.5 billion acquisition of
former Apple designer Jony Ive's startup has the potential to add $1 trillion
in value to OpenAI. The pocket-sized, screen-free devices will be
contextually aware of users' surroundings and designed to help wean people
from traditional screens. Altman said the device will not be a phone or
glasses, but rather a third core device that would sit on a desk alongside a
MacBook Pro and iPhone. The company aims to ship the devices "faster than any
company has ever shipped 100 million of something new before," with a target
release of late next year.
