Chris Lehane, OpenAI's policy chief, said at the Davos Forum on Monday that OpenAI is "on track" to launch its first product in the second half of 2026. Since acquiring the company of former Apple design chief Jony Ive last May, CEO Altman has repeatedly hinted at future AI devices, but has consistently avoided revealing a specific timeline or product form. Multiple reports indicate that OpenAI is developing a small, screenless device, possibly a wearable, for user interaction. Lehane declined to provide any specific details, including whether it would be a button, headphones, or something entirely different. Lehane listed the "device" as one of OpenAI's major highlights in 2026, telling reporters that "there will be news before the end of the year." While he did not promise a market launch this year, he stated that OpenAI is "aiming for a launch in the second half of 2026." (Jinshi)
