OpenAI 可能在今年宣布推出 ChatGPT 智能音箱
OpenAI’s first device is set to be a smart speaker that lets you talk with ChatGPT, according to a report from Bloomberg. The device apparently won’t have a screen, but will use a camera and additional sensors to “understand” your environment. 据彭博社报道，OpenAI 的首款设备将是一款能让你与 ChatGPT 对话的智能音箱。该设备显然不会配备屏幕，但会利用摄像头和额外的传感器来“理解”你所处的环境。
The report comes just days after Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI that accused the AI company of stealing hardware secrets. OpenAI, in a new statement on Tuesday, said that it is “not aware of any evidence that this complaint has merit.” 就在这份报告发布的前几天，苹果公司刚刚对 OpenAI 提起诉讼，指控这家人工智能公司窃取其硬件机密。OpenAI 在周二的一份新声明中表示，其“并未发现任何证据表明该指控成立”。
Sources tell Bloomberg that OpenAI’s device will also feature a rechargeable battery that will allow users to carry it with them. It will offer smart home controls, along with the ability to play media, answer questions, and respond to messages. Bloomberg additionally says that the device will use GPT-Live, OpenAI’s upgraded voice model announced last week. 消息人士告诉彭博社，OpenAI 的这款设备还将配备可充电电池，方便用户随身携带。它将提供智能家居控制功能，并具备播放媒体、回答问题和回复信息的能力。彭博社还补充说，该设备将使用 OpenAI 上周宣布的升级版语音模型 GPT-Live。
Bloomberg reports that the device will use “mechanical elements that can move on their own” in order to “connect on a humanlike level with users.” In February, The Information reported on a similar device equipped with a camera that can recognize items or people nearby. 据彭博社报道，该设备将使用“可以自主移动的机械元件”，以便“在类人层面与用户建立连接”。今年 2 月，《The Information》曾报道过一款类似的设备，它配备了摄像头，可以识别附近的物品或人员。
The rumored speaker will launch in 2027 as part of OpenAI’s plans for a bigger hardware lineup, which currently includes “roughly” five devices, according to Bloomberg. OpenAI is collaborating with former Apple designer Jony Ive on the new devices following its nearly $6.5 billion acquisition of his design公司, io Products. 据彭博社报道，这款传闻中的音箱将于 2027 年发布，这是 OpenAI 更宏大的硬件产品线计划的一部分，该计划目前包含“大约”五款设备。在以近 65 亿美元收购前苹果设计师乔尼·艾维（Jony Ive）的设计公司 io Products 后，OpenAI 正与他合作开发这些新设备。
OpenAI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The company has also been teasing a Codex gadget called the Codex Micro, made in partnership with Work Louder, that’s scheduled to release on July 15th. OpenAI 没有立即回应置评请求。该公司此前还一直在预热一款名为 Codex Micro 的 Codex 小工具，这是与 Work Louder 合作开发的产品，定于 7 月 15 日发布。
