📱 OpenAI’s Screen-Free AI Device Revealed

New details have emerged about OpenAI and Jony Ive’s mysterious AI device, following the $6.5B acquisition of Ive’s startup, io. Sam Altman calls it the company’s most ambitious project yet, with a goal to ship 100 million units by late 2026. 

The Shift:

1. Positioned as a “Third Core Device” -  Altman says the product will sit alongside your phone and laptop, not replace them, but redefine daily interaction. It’s designed to live on your desk like an iPhone or MacBook, but without a screen or traditional UI. 

2. Screen-Free, Wearable, and Compact - Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that the prototype is slightly larger than the AI Pin, and as sleek as an iPod Shuffle. It is worn around the neck, packed with microphones and cameras, yet has no display. Ive and 

3. Massive Scale, Quiet Confidence -  Altman told staff the goal is to ship 100 million units faster than any device in history. He hinted that the project could increase OpenAI’s valuation by $1 trillion. 

4. A Bet Against the Screen-Centric Future - Both leaders are intentionally moving away from screen addiction. Ive has said the device is meant to “own the unintended consequences” of the iPhone and OpenAI sees this as a once-in-a-generation chance to create a new tech foundation.

OpenAI and Jony Ive aren’t just building a device,  they’re trying to reset our relationship with technology. If successful, this could be the first truly ambient AI product to reach mainstream adoption. 

🎥 SkyReels V2 Is the First Open-Source AI Video Tool That Actually Feels Pro

SkyReels V2 isn’t just another AI video model , it’s a full cinematic engine you can run yourself. From storyboarding to smooth multi-minute scenes, this tool brings Hollywood-level video generation to your laptop. And it’s 100% open-source.

Step 1: Install SkyReels V2

Head to the official GitHub: github.com/SkyworkAI/SkyReels-V2. Clone the repo and set it up using SkyTools, which includes dependencies, launch scripts, and GPU optimizations. It runs smoothly on most high-end consumer GPUs.

Step 2: Write Smarter Prompts with SkyCaptioner-V1

Use SkyCaptioner to turn simple ideas into detailed visual prompts. It auto-generates storyboard-level scene descriptions, helping your vision take shape before rendering even starts.

Step 3: Generate Cinematic Videos

Run your video generation script and feed it the storyboard prompts. SkyReels outputs fluid, cinematic-quality visuals , with no time limit. You can create anything from a 5-second clip to a 5-minute short film.

Step 4: Add B-Roll & Human Actions

SkyReels supports 400+ natural human actions, so you can easily layer in walking, turning, sitting, gesturing, or reaction shots. This makes your videos feel dynamic and lifelike ,perfect for storytelling.

Step 5: Train Your Own LoRA Model

Why It Matters SkyReels V2 is free, open, and powerful with no watermarks, no time caps, no paywalls. Just pure generative filmmaking on your terms.

🧠 Claude 4: Anthropic’s Most Powerful AI Yet

Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4, pushing boundaries in AI coding, reasoning, and agentic task execution. These models introduce hybrid thinking modes, tool integration, and long-term memory to enable complex workflows. 

The Shift:

1. Opus 4 Sets a New Coding Standard - Claude Opus 4 hits 72.5% on SWE-bench, outperforming all rivals on long, complex coding tasks. It can also run continuously for hours, handling full-codebase changes and step-by-step reasoning. 

2. Sonnet 4 replaces 3.7 with Power + Speed - Sonnet 4 is now the default model for most use cases, with 72.7% SWE-bench performance and improved response control. It powers GitHub Copilot’s new agent and excels at multi-feature builds, reducing navigation errors to near zero. 

3. New Agentic Abilities and Memory - Both models support hybrid response modes, instant answers or deep, tool-assisted reasoning. They now use tools in parallel, retain information via memory files, and integrate with VS Code and JetBrains. 

4. Claude Code Goes Public + GitHub-Ready - Claude Code is now available via SDKs, GitHub Actions, and native IDE plugins. You can tag Claude on pull requests, resolve CI issues, or edit files inline. 

Claude 4 isn’t just faster, it’s designed to think, adapt, and build alongside you. Opus leads for advanced use cases, while Sonnet delivers enterprise-ready agility. Anthropic just took a major step toward AI agents that work like teammates, not tools.
