Mars Finance reported on September 22 that according to foreign media reports, there was news in April this year that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and former Apple design director Jony Ive jointly designed AI hardware for individuals and are currently seeking external investment. Ive himself confirmed this on September 21.
The report mentioned that by the end of this year, the new company may raise $1 billion in funding. The project currently has only 10 employees, including two key figures who worked with Ive on the iPhone. As for what the product itself is, there were rumors last year that it was inspired by touch screen technology and the first generation iPhone, but this news has not been confirmed. (Jinshi)
