Apple Vision Pro exec is reportedly leaving for OpenAI

苹果 Vision Pro 高管据传将离职加入 OpenAI

Paul Meade, the Apple vice president in charge of the Vision Pro headset, is leaving the company to join OpenAI’s hardware team, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. 据彭博社记者马克·古尔曼（Mark Gurman）报道，负责苹果 Vision Pro 头显业务的副总裁保罗·米德（Paul Meade）即将离职，并将加入 OpenAI 的硬件团队。

Meade also reportedly led the development of the AI-powered smart glasses that Apple plans to launch next year. The costly Vision Pro was not a hit, but Apple is hoping that more affordable smart glasses will help it compete with wearable devices from Meta. 据报道，米德此前还领导了苹果计划于明年推出的 AI 智能眼镜的开发工作。尽管价格昂贵的 Vision Pro 并未取得预期的成功，但苹果希望通过更具性价比的智能眼镜来与 Meta 的可穿戴设备展开竞争。

Gurman frames this departure as a byproduct of John Ternus’ imminent elevation to Apple CEO, and of Ternus’ decision to shake up the hardware engineering team, which left some of the company’s vice presidents feeling like they’d been demoted. 古尔曼认为，此次人事变动是约翰·特努斯（John Ternus）即将升任苹果 CEO 的连锁反应之一。特努斯决定对硬件工程团队进行重组，这导致公司内部一些副总裁感到自己的职权被削弱。

OpenAI, meanwhile, is already working with Apple’s former chief design officer Jony Ive on an AI device that CEO Sam Altman has claimed will be more peaceful and calm than an iPhone, though reports last fall suggested the company was struggling to get the details right. 与此同时，OpenAI 正在与苹果前首席设计官乔尼·艾维（Jony Ive）合作开发一款 AI 设备。OpenAI CEO 山姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）曾声称该设备将比 iPhone 更“平和、从容”，尽管去年秋季的报道显示，该公司在打磨产品细节方面正面临挑战。
