OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to launch its first proprietary device sometime in the second half of 2026. This marks a significant shift for the company—stepping beyond its pure software-focused business model into the hardware space. The move signals how major AI players are now looking to create integrated ecosystems where their own devices can run their AI models natively.

The hardware sector is trying to monopolize again, OpenAI, that was a good move.

OpenAI building hardware? Basically, they want to create an ecological closed loop, control costs, and reduce gas fees... No, it's about lowering costs. By the second half of 2026, the timeline is a bit long. Let me see how much arbitrage space will be eroded during this period.

Uh... OpenAI is also making hardware? Now it's really time to go all in --- 2026 is still so far away, let's wait and see --- The hardware ecosystem is a really big piece of the cake, everyone wants a bite --- It's really competitive now, even AI companies have to build their own hardware --- Apple better be careful now, OpenAI is not to be underestimated --- Forget it, let's just see when it actually launches, expectation management is the most important --- Integrated ecosystem? Feels like they want to do what Apple does --- It's next year, but it might change again
