报道称 OpenAI 以逾 3 亿美元收购智能手机相机厂商 Glass Imaging

据《华尔街日报》报道，OpenAI 已收购智能手机相机厂商 Glass Imaging，交易价值超过 3 亿美元。这家成立于 2019 年、总部位于加州洛斯阿尔托斯的公司，此前已从投资者处筹集约 3000 万美元资金。

Glass Imaging由 Ziv Attar 和 Tom Bishop 创立，两人均为前 Apple 工程师，此前曾领导团队开发 Apple 的人像模式。这一背景直接影响了他们目前在 Glass Imaging 开展的工作：公司利用 AI 突破智能手机相机在物理尺寸上的限制。Glass Imaging 并非在照片拍摄完成后使用 AI 进行编辑，而是利用神经网络学习各个相机系统的特性——例如不同智能手机型号所配备的不同相机——从而在按下快门的瞬间产出更好的图像。

OpenAI 未立即回应置评请求。外界传言，这家 ChatGPT 开发商正在研发自己的硬件，包括智能手机、耳机以及AI 陪伴设备。

2025 年，OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 与知名 Apple 设计师 Jony Ive 透露，他们一直在共同合作开发一家名为 io 的设备创业公司；当时 OpenAI 以 65 亿美元收购了 Ive 的公司。

OpenAI has bought smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging in a deal worth over $300 million, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The company, founded in 2019 and based in Los Altos, California, had previously raised about $30 million in funding from investors.

Glass Imaging was founded by Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, a pair of former Apple engineers who previously led the team that developed Apple’s Portrait Mode. This background directly informs the work they now do at Glass Imaging, where they use AI to overcome the physical size constraints of smartphone cameras. Rather than using AI to edit a photo after it’s been taken, Glass Imaging uses neural networks to learn about individual camera systems — like the different cameras on various smartphone models — to yield better images from the moment the shutter clicks.

OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The ChatGPT maker is rumored to be working on its own hardware, like smartphones, earbuds, and AI companion devices.

In 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and famed Apple designer Jony Ive revealed that they had been working together on a device startup called io, when OpenAI bought Ive’s company for $6.5 billion.
