Overview
- Multiple reports, citing tipster Smart Pikachu, say OpenAI’s first device is an AI earbud project codenamed Sweetpea with a metal “eggstone” housing and two pill modules that sit behind the ear.
- The earbuds are reportedly built around a 2nm, phone-class SoC likely sourced from Samsung’s Exynos line, with a custom chip intended to trigger iPhone actions via Siri.
- A September 2026 debut and 40–50 million first-year shipments are claimed, with a bill of materials said to rival a smartphone, suggesting a premium price.
- Foxconn is reported to handle assembly and has been told to prepare capacity for five OpenAI devices by Q4 2028, with other concepts said to include a home device and a pen.
- Beyond OpenAI’s 2025 acquisition of Jony Ive’s design studio io, these details remain unverified and should be treated as leaks rather than confirmed plans.
