Last Friday, AI Startup Openai submitted a new application to brand products It is associated with its brand – “Openai” – with the US Patent and trademark office (USPTO). Normally, this would not be worth. Companies archive for brands all the time. But in the application, Openai implies new product series of both closest and more speculative nature.
For example, the deposit lists material, including headphones, glasses, glasses, remote controls, laptops and telephone pockets, smartwatches, smart jewelry and virtual and augmented reality “for interaction, simulation and education” .
Openai last year confirmed that it has worked with former Apple Jony Ive designer on a hardware project and chief executive, Sam Altman, on Sunday said to Korean exit Elec That Openai hopes to develop the consumer -powered material “through corporate relationships with many companies”. But in the same interview, Altman warned that it would take “several years” to even complete an AI prototype device.
The OpenAI brand application also mentions robots-in particular the “Humanoid Human Robots” and “Humanoid Robots that have communication and learning functions for human help and entertainment”.
Openai recently began hiring a new robotics team led by Caitlin Kalinowski, who joined the start to drive the material last November from Meta’s Division Glasses. According to labor lists and reports from information, Openai is trying to test robots-possibly humanoids in form-powered by customized sensors and AIs that can operate with human intelligence in real regulations.
Further in its testimony, Openai makes references to customized AI brands and services for “utilizing quantum computing resources to optimize the performance of the AI model”.
It has long been rumored that Openai creates customized brands to run AI models. The company has a division focused on chip ingredients designedAnd reports indicate that Openai aims to bring a custom chip to the market with Broadcom and TSMC semiconductor manufacturers as early as 2026.
Openai’s designs for quantum computing – assuming it has any stone – are noisy. But last year, the start added to his technical team of former architect quantum systems at the Quantum Computing Startup Psiquantum.
As a register Noted in a piece from MarchQuantum Informatics is able to drastically improve the effectiveness of AI models, thanks to its ability to perform calculations at the same time. With AI’s computer costs showing no sign to decline anytime soon, perhaps Openai sees a future in training models in material very different from the machinery it is based today.
Again, brands applications are often deliberately written to be broad and not indication of the company’s road map. Openai may reveal the areas where the start of exploring – or at least, has examined the exploration. But exactly when – or if – any of the technologies mentioned in the deposit it does on the market is one’s guess.
