- OpenAI quietly acquired Glass Imaging, a startup developing AI-powered smartphone camera technology, in a deal that valued the company above $300 million, according to sources.
- Glass Imaging, founded by former Apple employees, was valued at roughly $100 million last year — meaning the deal price is roughly 3x that figure.
Why it matters: OpenAI paid more than 3x Glass Imaging's year-ago ~$100M valuation to bring in a team of ex-Apple engineers working on AI-powered smartphone camera technology — talent and IP that sits squarely on the hardware side of OpenAI's consumer ambitions.
