OpenAI outlined a battery-powered, doughnut-shaped ChatGPT device priced at $300 to $400, with a possible 2027 debut as its first dedicated hardware product.
The hockey-puck-sized unit is described as display-free and portable, with cameras, sensors, microphones, speaker grilles and listening lights; moving parts may signal responses and add personality.
At the same time, GPT-5.6 Sol now adjusts response length to query complexity, cuts factual errors by about 68%, and adds a reasoning slider for Plus and Pro users.
GPT-5.6 Luna has become the default for Free and Go users with unlimited text chats and a Think button, while under-18 safeguards now block romantic roleplay, age-restricted content and self-harm prompts.
The paired hardware and software push shows OpenAI extending ChatGPT from apps into an everyday device ecosystem rather than remaining a software-only platform.
