Altman said that the rumored Jony Ive project is in 'nascent stages,' and that the smartphone is “phenomenal at what it does.”
After rumors began to swirl that Sam Altman’s OpenAI tapped Jony Ive on a secret piece of hardware, the company’s wunderkind CEO says he has no plans to compete with the smartphone market.
