Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has been in the background for a while after facing some controversies. However, he’s now making waves with a new project alongside former Apple design chief Jony Ive. They’re working on developing an AI-powered personal device and are seeking funding from potential investors.

While details about the device are scarce, it’s known that it won’t look like a typical smartphone. Altman’s investment in the Humane AI pin, a screen-less wearable gadget, hints at what their device might resemble.

The partnership aims to raise around $1 billion in funding, with talks already held with investors like SoftBank, Thrive Capital, and Emerson Collective. This collaboration has been in the works for some time, and while there’s anticipation, concrete details are yet to be revealed.
