Over the weekend, some ChatGPT fans noticed that OpenAI quietly removed the Sam Altman-Jony Ive video from the website and the accompanying announcement that OpenAI had purchased Ive’s io to make ChatGPT devices.
Some worried that OpenAI might have abruptly pulled the plug on ChatGPT io hardware, but that wasn’t the case.
A court order in a trademark lawsuit forced OpenAI to temporarily remove those press materials. Google-backed iyO is a startup that makes wearable computers with custom-molded earpieces. Specifically, they create voice-controlled earphones where the user talks to the operating system and apps.
iyO sued OpenAI, and the court filings have started piling up on the web. They reveal the history between the two entities as well as the first details about OpenAI’s plans for the ChatGPT io gadget.
