Good morning. It’s Friday, August 7. — you made it.

Enjoy the weekend, and we’ll see you Monday. OpenAI’s first hardware product isn’t a phone or a wearable; it’s a doughnut-shaped smart speaker designed with Jony Ive’s studio, and Bloomberg’s leak gives the clearest picture yet of what a $300-plus AI device from OpenAI could actually look like.

Today we are covering:

  • OpenAI is developing a doughnut-shaped smart speaker with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom, priced above $300 and targeting a 2027 launch

  • A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay an additional $567 million in a child safety case, bringing its total fines to $942 million

  • Stanford and Arc Institute scientists used AI to design brand new viruses, and 16 of them successfully killed bacteria in the lab
