Before Google kicked off its I/O 2025 event, which turned out to be an even more exciting display of AI prowess than last year, I wondered whether OpenAI would make any last-minute ChatGPT announcements to shock the world before Google had a chance to announce all its Gemini novelties.
OpenAI did no such thing, choosing not to repeat last year’s stunt. But that’s only because it had a much better trick up its sleeve to steal the world’s attention away from Google. OpenAI scheduled the surprise announcement of the first io ChatGPT product two days after Google’s main I/O keynote.
The company released a great announcement video featuring Sam Altman and Jony Ive. In it, the two announced the new partnership between OpenAI, io, and LoveFrom and teased the slew of AI devices they’ll be releasing in the coming years.
The video told us that Sam Altman is already using a finished prototype of this mysterious io ChatGPT device, without revealing additional details about the product. We learned it wouldn’t be a laptop, as that’s a cumbersome way to initiate conversations with ChatGPT. It wasn’t clear if it would be a phone, but previous reports have said the two parties, now joined under OpenAI, will not make a phone of their own.
The clip also teased a release date for the io ChatGPT product, saying OpenAI and io look forward to sharing their work next year. More details about this first ChatGPT gadget leaked quickly after Sam Altman briefed employees about the news.
