Ming-Chi Kuo: It is expected that the AI hardware developed by OpenAI and io will be mass-produced in the following year.
On May 23, OpenAI announced that it would acquire AI equipment startup io for nearly $6.5 billion to enter the hardware field. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that OpenAI's new form of AI hardware equipment in cooperation with io is expected to be mass-produced in 2027 and is expected to be assembled in Vietnam. The current sample of the device is slightly larger than the AI Pin, and the design is as small and delicate as the iPod Shuffle, and one of the ways to use the device is to wear it around the neck.
