OpenAI has reportedly agreed to acquire AI camera company Glass Imaging for more than $300 million, adding a specialized imaging team as it explores consumer devices. Founded by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, Glass Imaging uses neural networks trained on specific camera systems to improve image quality at capture across different phone models and lenses. The company had raised roughly $30 million before the deal. The acquisition follows OpenAI’s $6.5 billion purchase of Jony Ive’s company and comes as OpenAI has been linked to hardware including smartphones and earbuds. Separately, Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said OpenAI has ruled out an initial public offering in 2026, citing safety and AI-alignment work, while the company continues to operate at a multi-billion-dollar loss.
