- OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a secretive AI device, facing technical challenges ahead of a planned 2025 launch.
- The device is palm-sized, screenless, and designed to respond to audio and visual cues from the environment.
- Key unresolved issues include the AI's 'personality,' privacy concerns, and computing power requirements.
- Hardware design is led by Ive's team, but software and infrastructure hurdles remain.
- The device will be 'always on,' collecting data to build its virtual assistant's 'memory.'
- OpenAI struggles with computing resources, delaying the project compared to competitors like Amazon and Google.
- The gadget, roughly smartphone-sized, will feature cameras, a microphone, and a speaker for user interaction.
