OpenAI Reportedly Developing 'Sweetpea,' a Pill-Shaped AirPods Competitor with Jony Ive

The rumored always-listening ear device, codenamed Sweetpea, would represent OpenAI's most ambitious hardware play yet.

OpenAI is reportedly working with designer Jony Ive on a "pill-like AirPods competitor" codenamed "Sweetpea," according to @AutismCapital. The device is described as an always-listening ear-worn AI interface. Details remain scarce and the report should be treated as rumor, but it fits a pattern: between the Merge Labs BCI investment and now Sweetpea, OpenAI appears to be exploring multiple hardware form factors for persistent AI interaction.
