The High Stakes of OpenAI's Hardware Gambit OpenAI's forthcoming smart speaker has sent shockwaves through the tech community with its reported price point of between $300 and $400.
This high end offering is a deliberate attempt by OpenAI to redefine the market for AI powered hardware, setting itself apart from affordable options like Amazon Echo and Google Home.
By positioning itself as a premium product, OpenAI is betting that consumers will be willing to pay a significant premium for an AI powered experience that goes beyond basic voice assistant capabilities.
