When OpenAI's new device would be unveiled
The first concrete clue came from Europe. Chris Lehane, OpenAI's global director of public affairs, spoke about the subject in Davos.
Within the framework of the World Economic Forum, he stated that the device is "on its way" to being unveiled in the second half of 2026.
The development of the device is not new; it began to take shape in 2024. That year, OpenAI partnered with Jony Ive, former head of design at Apple. In 2025, the company ended up acquiring his startup.

What is known about the device
So far, there is no official confirmation about the form factor; only versions and leaks have circulated. Some rumors spoke of an audio device shaped like a pencil. Others point to headphones with an unprecedented design.
The audio device hypothesis
The most recent reports indicate that OpenAI would be developing a product focused on audio. The internal name would be "Sweatpea". The idea would be to compete directly with the most popular wireless headphones on the market.

OpenAI has hinted that it would not be a single product. The strategy would include several devices.
