📱 THE END OF THE SMARTPHONE? OpenAI Confirms First AI Hardware for Late 2026! 🚀🤖$SHELL $KITE $ADX
For years, we’ve used ChatGPT as an app. In 2026, it becomes a physical companion. OpenAI has officially confirmed a late-year reveal for its secret hardware project, developed in collaboration with legendary ex-Apple designer Jony Ive and his firm, LoveFrom.
This isn't just a "gadget"—it's a move to redefine how humans interact with technology. Here is everything we know about the device codenamed "Sweetpea." 👇
🎧 1. Not a Phone, but a "Behind-the-Ear" Computer
Forget screens. Leaked supply chain reports suggest the first device is a screenless, audio-first wearable.

The Design: Codenamed "Sweetpea," it reportedly features a metallic, egg-shaped charging case and two "pills" that sit behind the ear rather than inside it.

The Goal: CEO Sam Altman has described the vision as "peaceful" and "ambiently aware." It’s designed to listen and assist without the addictive distraction of a glowing screen.

⚡ 2. Powered by "Smartphone-Class" Silicon
This isn't a low-powered toy like early AI pins.
The Specs: Rumors point to a 2-nanometer chip (likely from Samsung's Exynos line) capable of running heavy AI models directly on the device.

The "Siri Killer": Reports suggest a custom chip designed to integrate with—and potentially override—iPhone actions by commanding Siri via voice.

🏭 3. The "Made in USA" Strategy
In a major shift, OpenAI has reportedly moved its manufacturing orders to Foxconn, with plans to assemble the devices in the United States or Vietnam to avoid China-based supply chain risks and tariffs.

The Scale: Foxconn is reportedly preparing for a launch volume of 40 to 50 million units in the first year.

💸 THE TRADER’S TAKE: Who Wins?
This hardware pivot isn't just a tech story; it’s a market-moving event.
Apple ($AAPL): The "AirPod Killer" narrative is real. OpenAI is coming for Apple’s wearable ecosystem.

Samsung & Foxconn: These hardware giants are the primary beneficiaries of OpenAI's massive production needs.
AI Tokens: Keep an eye on decentralized compute and AI infrastructure tokens. A massive influx of physical AI devices will require more "edge computing" power than ever before.
"2026 is the year AI stops being a tool you talk to and starts being a companion that walks with you."
👋 YOUR VOTE:
Are you ready to ditch your screen for a "behind-the-ear" AI companion, or is this a privacy nightmare?
Drop a "🧠" if you’re buying on day one, or a "🚫" if you’re sticking with your iPhone! Let’s hear your thoughts below! 👇

Elon Musk is seeking between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming the companies defrauded him by abandoning the AI firm's nonprofit mission after he provided $38 million in seed funding representing 60% of OpenAI's early capital in 2015.
What Happened: Wrongful Gains Calculation
A federal judge in Oakland, California rejected a final dismissal motion by OpenAI and Microsoft on January 16, 2026, clearing the path for a jury trial set to begin in late April.
Musk's damages claim was calculated by expert witness C. Paul Wazzan, a financial economist who determined OpenAI gained between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion from Musk's early contributions, while Microsoft gained between $13.3 billion and $25.1 billion. The total range of $79 billion to $134 billion is based on OpenAI's current $500 billion valuation and could increase if the company's valuation rises before trial.
"Without Elon Musk, there'd be no OpenAI. He provided the bulk of the seed funding, lent his reputation, and taught them all he knows about scaling a business," Musk's lead trial lawyer Steven Molo said in a statement. The filing argues Musk's contributions extended beyond capital to include recruiting key staff, connecting founders with contacts, and lending credibility to the project when it launched.
OpenAI dismissed the demand as "unserious" and part of Musk's "harassment campaign" against the company. Microsoft challenged the expert analysis as "made up," "unverifiable," and "unprecedented," arguing the methodology is unreliable and seeks an implausible transfer of billions from a nonprofit to a former donor turned competitor.
Why It Matters: Nonprofit Mission Under Scrutiny
The case centers on whether OpenAI violated its founding mission by restructuring into a for-profit entity deeply aligned with Microsoft. Musk left OpenAI's board in 2018 and launched competing AI company xAI in 2023, which operates the Grok chatbot.
Internal documents released during discovery show OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman wrote in private notes in 2017 that he couldn't "see us turning this into a for-profit without a very nasty fight" with Musk. The legal battle has now materialized into one of the largest damage claims in AI industry history.
The trial will determine whether OpenAI used its nonprofit status to gain advantages including reputation, recruiting, and tax benefits while leadership planned a commercial pivot all along, or whether Musk left because he couldn't secure full control of the company's direction.

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected OpenAI and Microsoft's final dismissal motions on January 16, 2026, clearing the path for a jury trial tentatively scheduled for March 30 in Oakland, California, as Elon Musk's fraud and breach of contract claims advance to court.
Final Escape Route Blocked
The ruling marks a critical victory for Musk after OpenAI spent months attempting to avoid trial.
Judge Gonzalez Rogers stated during a 90-minute hearing on January 8 that "this case is going to trial," signaling she found sufficient evidence for a jury to consider Musk's allegations that OpenAI leadership made knowingly false assurances about maintaining the company's nonprofit structure. The judge said she needed to determine some trial logistics but made clear the case would proceed.
On January 16, the court officially denied the last-ditch dismissal requests from both OpenAI and Microsoft, according to Bloomberg. The trial is now set for late April, though some sources cite March 30 as the tentative start date.
The judge cited a 2017 diary entry by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman as evidence supporting Musk's fraud claims. In private notes, Brockman wrote he couldn't "see us turning this into a for-profit without a very nasty fight" with Musk, suggesting leadership was already contemplating a commercial pivot while publicly reassuring the billionaire about nonprofit commitments.
Musk's lead counsel Marc Toberoff said the hearing confirmed "substantial evidence that OpenAI's leadership made knowingly false assurances to Mr. Musk about its charitable mission that they never honored in favor of their personal self-enrichment."
OpenAI dismissed the lawsuit as "baseless" and part of Musk's ongoing "harassment campaign" against the company he co-founded in 2015 before departing in 2018.
Governance On Trial
The case represents one of the most consequential legal battles in AI history, with implications extending far beyond the personal feud between Musk and CEO Sam Altman.
At stake is whether verbal commitments made during a nonprofit's founding can be legally enforced when the organization later restructures for profit. OpenAI completed a complex restructuring in 2024 that valued the company at approximately $500 billion and transformed it into a public benefit corporation with Microsoft holding a 27% stake worth roughly $135 billion.
The trial will force OpenAI and Microsoft executives to testify about internal negotiations and strategic decisions that led to the for-profit conversion, potentially exposing private communications that could embarrass both companies. Microsoft's attorneys argued the tech giant had no contractual obligation to Musk and should be dismissed from the case, but the judge has yet to rule on that motion.
A key issue before trial is determining when the alleged fraud occurred, which affects the three-year statute of limitations on Musk's claims. Musk's team argues he wasn't properly informed of secret deals and continued donating as late as 2019-2020, while OpenAI contends any fraud would have occurred by 2017 when Musk contributed the majority of his $40 million in donations.

Judge Gonzalez Rogers indicated she would likely let the jury decide this timing question first, according to coverage from ABC News.
