Yesterday my good friends at DS reported on Weibo that the CNIPA (国家知识产权局) patent filing for OpenAI hardware became public yesterday due to new IP rules for big US AI companies operating in China. The document confirms a detail I was already hearing: the consumer name for the Sweetpea airpod product will be "Dime" (like the US 10分 coin) The filing likely means the public will see the device very soon. Another detail I also learned: the plan is now to ship a simple headphone first. The original "phone-like" headphone device with compute has been delayed because the HBM shortage made the BOM price too high due to the high memory needed for the 2nm chip. An audio-only version is planned for 2026, with an advanced SKU later when component costs improve.
