OpenAI 据报以 3 亿美元收购手机摄像头厂商 Glass Imaging
据《华尔街日报》报道，OpenAI 正以超过 3 亿美元收购手机摄像头厂商 Glass Imaging，OpenAI 尚未回应。Glass Imaging 成立于 2019 年，位于加州洛斯阿尔托斯，此前融资约 3000 万美元，由前苹果工程师 Ziv Attar 和 Tom Bishop 创立，二人曾负责人像模式团队。该公司主要用神经网络学习不同相机系统的成像特性，在按下快门时直接提升画质，而非依赖 AI 后期处理，以突破手机摄像头物理尺寸带来的成像限制。报道称该收购与 OpenAI 的手机、耳机和 AI 伴侣等硬件战略一致；2025 年 Sam Altman 与 Jony Ive 宣布合作开发硬件，随后以 65 亿美元收购 Ive 的公司并组建硬件初创 io。若交易完成，Glass Imaging 的计算摄影技术与团队经验预计将增强 OpenAI 的 AI 硬件能力。
AI推荐理由 据《华尔街日报》报道，OpenAI 拟以逾 3 亿美元收购手机摄像头厂商 Glass Imaging，交易尚未获 OpenAI 回应，属未确认传闻。新信息在于 Glass Imaging 由前苹果人像模式团队工程师创立，其用神经网络学习不同相机系统成像特性、在快门瞬间提升画质而非依赖后期 AI 处理的技术路线，以及该收购与 OpenAI 手机、耳机、AI 伴侣等硬件布局的关联。局限是消息为二手转述、金额与交易状态均未证实，正文亦无技术细节或官方确认，故不宜按已落地事件评价。

According to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI is acquiring smartphone camera manufacturer Glass Imaging for more than $300 million. Glass Imaging was founded in 2019 and is based in Los Altos, California. It has previously raised about $30 million from investors. OpenAI has not yet responded to this matter.
Glass Imaging was founded by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, who previously led Apple's portrait mode team. The company mainly uses neural networks to learn the imaging characteristics of different camera systems, directly improving image quality when the shutter is pressed, rather than relying on AI post-processing, thus overcoming the imaging limitations caused by the physical size of smartphone cameras.
This acquisition also aligns with OpenAI's ongoing hardware strategy. According to reports, OpenAI is developing hardware products including smartphones, earphones, and AI companion devices. In 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Jony Ive, former Apple design chief, announced a collaboration to develop hardware devices, and later acquired Ive's company for $6.5 billion. The related team formed the hardware startup io.
If the deal is finalized, Glass Imaging's computational photography technology and team experience are expected to further enhance OpenAI's technical capabilities in AI hardware, indicating that OpenAI is expanding from AI software and model capabilities to terminal devices and interaction interfaces.
