OpenAI has finalized its acquisition of Jony Ive's startup, io, in a deal valued at $6.5 billion. While Ive and his LoveFrom design studio remain independent, io's co-founders Scott Cannon, Evans Hankey, and Tang Tan, along with approximately 50 other io engineers, designers, and researchers, are now OpenAI employees. OpenAI and Ive are collaborating on a new family of AI products intended for widespread use, with initial hints suggesting a portable, unobtrusive device that is aware of its surroundings and the user's actions, but not a phone or glasses.
