Hello, OpenAI iPhone

Welcome to the 1,000th edition of FryAI! (Cant believe I’m saying that). 🥳

Thanks for those of you who have shown up for years, and also for those of you who just joined — you make every day worth the effort. 🙏

This link leads to one of the most interesting things I’ve seen in AI recently.

What’s up? OpenAI is building its own smartphone, with mass production possibly starting as early as 2027 and a broader launch aimed around 2028.

Want the details? OpenAI has reportedly moved beyond general hardware experiments and is now exploring a phone designed around AI agents. The company is said to be working with major chip partners like MediaTek and Qualcomm, while also collaborating with former Apple design chief Jony Ive. Reports suggest the device will focus heavily on AI performance, camera sensing, memory speed, and security. Instead of feeling like a normal smartphone with AI added on top, the goal seems to be a phone built from the ground up for AI-powered help, where one assistant could handle tasks across apps in a more seamless way.

Why is this significant? Many people feel Apple has been slow to deliver the kind of deeply integrated AI experience users are starting to expect. OpenAI sees this as an opportunity to build its own phone around AI agents that can actually take action across apps.

Autonomous agents shouldn’t come with surprise bills. SureThing is built to be an affordable AI employee: it matches each task to the lowest-cost model that can complete it well, shows what the work cost, and only uses stronger models when the job actually needs them.

Start for Less

What happened? Anthropic has signed a deal with SpaceX to use the full computing power of Colossus 1, a massive AI supercomputer.

Want the details? Colossus 1 is a huge data center built for AI, packed with more than 220,000 Nvidia chips that help train and run advanced AI systems. That computing power can be used for things like improving language models, handling more user requests, and supporting demanding tasks such as image, text, and scientific processing. Anthropic says this extra capacity will directly help Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers by giving the system more capacity. The two companies are also exploring an even bigger idea: putting large amounts of AI computing power in orbit.

Why does this matter? AI companies are running into real limits on Earth, including power, land, and cooling. If this deal works as planned, it could help Claude become faster, more available, and more capable. It could also give them an edge in space-based computing, something I discussed Inside the Kitchen three weeks ago.
