OpenAI 正在开发一款无萤幕的行动智慧音箱，旨在成为家庭中的人工智慧伴侣。这款设备将整合 ChatGPT 的功能，不仅能控制智慧家电与播放媒体，还具备人性化的性格与主动感知能力。透过内建电池、摄影机与多种感测器，它能理解用户的使用情境与周遭环境，甚至能在家中各个房间移动，为现代人提供更高度客制化的生活协助。

该设备的开发团队包含了许多前苹果公司（Apple）的设计师与工程师，其中包括知名设计师强尼·艾夫（Jony Ive）所带领的 LoveFrom 团队。然而，苹果公司近期对 OpenAI 提起诉讼，指控其窃取商业机密以加速设备研发。对此，OpenAI 强烈否认，强调其产品设计与苹果现有的 HomePod 截然不同，并表示尊重公平竞争。

OpenAI 计划于今年发表这款智慧音箱，并预计在 2027 年正式上市，但苹果的诉讼可能会对产品的销售时程造成变数。除了智慧音箱，OpenAI 未来还计划推出能取代智慧型手机的行动设备、穿戴式装置以及家庭机器人。同时，苹果也正在积极准备一系列主打人工智慧的家庭新产品，这预示著两家科技巨头在智慧硬体领域的竞争将日益激烈。

OpenAI is developing a mobile, screen-free smart speaker designed to serve as an artificial intelligence companion in the home. This device will integrate ChatGPT's capabilities, not only controlling smart appliances and playing media, but also possessing a humanlike personality and proactive sensing abilities. Equipped with a built-in battery, a camera, and various sensors, it can understand user context and surroundings, and can even be moved from room to room, providing highly customized assistance for modern lifestyles.

The development team for this device includes many former Apple designers and engineers, notably the LoveFrom team led by renowned designer Jony Ive. However, Apple recently filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of stealing trade secrets to accelerate its device development. OpenAI strongly denies these allegations, emphasizing that its product design is fundamentally different from Apple's existing HomePod and asserting its commitment to fair competition.

OpenAI plans to unveil the smart speaker this year with an expected release in 2027, though Apple's lawsuit could potentially delay the sales timeline. Beyond the smart speaker, OpenAI also plans to introduce mobile devices capable of replacing smartphones, wearable products, and home robotics in the future. Meanwhile, Apple is actively preparing a new lineup of AI-focused home products, signaling increasingly fierce competition between the two tech giants in the smart hardware sector.
