OpenAI & Jony Ive’s AI hardware hits development hurdles
On October 6, 2025, reports revealed that OpenAI and designer Jony Ive are co-developing a palm-sized AI device, but have encountered significant technical setbacks
The device is meant to integrate visual/audio sensing and respond to real-world environments, but challenges in compute power and software development have delayed progress.
If successful, it could redefine portable AI interaction — though the delays show how hardware remains a tough frontier.
