Bloomberg reported on August 6, 2026 that OpenAI's forthcoming consumer hardware device is a display-less smart speaker shaped like a doughnut and roughly the size of a hockey puck, with moving parts intended to give it personality. People familiar with the confidential work said it will likely be priced above $300 and is designed to be carried around the home with one hand. The report, by Mark Gurman, is based on unnamed sources rather than any OpenAI announcement, and no launch date or availability details were given.
