The hardware competition among tech giants is becoming increasingly fierce. Following the push for wearable devices by major manufacturers, OpenAI can no longer hold back and is also entering the hardware space.

A clear feature of this new wave of wearable devices is—goodbye screens. It's not just a simple upgrade in battery life, but a complete shift to voice interaction. Transitioning from direct touch screen experiences to voice-driven indirect interactions. Looks very futuristic, right?

According to the latest leaked patent design, OpenAI's device codenamed Sweetpea resembles a small golden egg, equipped with a 2nm process chip, with Foxconn responsible for manufacturing. This direction signals that the deployment of voice AI is accelerating, and the next stage of smart wearables is imminent.

It is worth noting that domestic players are also actively布局 in the fields of voice interaction and AI chips, with iFlytek's technological accumulation in this area being quite noteworthy.

Is the Little Gold Egg coming? OpenAI is really taking a different approach this time. Voice interaction replacing the screen, I find this logic a bit hard to understand... Xunfei should have taken action early; they've been waiting until now. How did Sweetpea get its name? It sounds a bit wild. With 2nm chips being rolled out like this, what about battery life? Is the removal of the screen always an improvement, or is it just creating false demand? Can the quality of products outsourced to Foxconn be guaranteed? Implementing voice AI is easy to say, but what about privacy, brother? This round of competition will probably wipe out a bunch of small companies again. The only ones who can really use it are probably that small group of geeks.

Voice interaction is really the next big trend, I support the design idea of Sweetpea. OpenAI is making another big move, the screen era should come to an end. 2nm chips, manufactured by Foxconn, this configuration is maxed out... but the price will definitely be high as well. Can iFlytek keep up with the pace? It feels like the domestic market is still a bit behind. The small golden egg shape haha, I wonder if wearing it will look out of place. In the era where voice is king, whoever creates the top-notch experience first will win. The idea of removing screens has been overdue; constantly staring at screens is really exhausting.

Is voice interaction really the next generation of interaction? I still think the intuitiveness of screens cannot be replaced. OpenAI's Sweetpea looks a bit strange, but Foxconn's OEM manufacturing is quite imaginative. iFlytek indeed has a solid foundation in this area, but whether it can truly be implemented remains to be seen.

OpenAI has figured out voice interaction, but iFlytek has been laying the groundwork long ago. --- I don't care what the Little Gold Egg looks like; I just want to know how the battery life performs. --- Making 2nm chips for wearables? The cost must be terrifying. --- I think going screenless is a bit far-fetched; we should wait and see the actual experience. --- If iFlytek can follow up this time, it would be interesting. The domestic hardware ecosystem needs to wake up. --- Accelerating the deployment of voice AI might be a bit optimistic; who will take responsibility for privacy issues? --- Foxconn's OEM is just another one; the supply chain competition is really intense. --- I have reservations about the disappearance of screens; user habits won't change that quickly. --- Sweetpea is a pretty cute name, but in the hardware competition, OpenAI can't beat Huaqiangbei, haha.

Voice interaction without a screen? Hmm, I’m afraid I’ll be nagged to death by AI... OpenAI’s golden egg is about to take off, Foxconn’s OEM is stable, and domestic iFlytek also needs to step up. Screenless wearables are really coming, this might be the next hot spot. Little golden egg? Sounds good, but what can it do... 2nm process technology on wearables is a bit aggressive, how long the battery can last is a question. Accelerating the deployment of voice AI, the crypto world also needs to jump on the bandwagon. If iFlytek reacts quickly and can secure a position, this game will be more interesting.
