OpenAi erases all about partnership with the hardware company

At the end of May, OpenAi announced that bought the ioHardware company by Jony Ive, former designer of Apple (which became known for the aesthetics of apple products in recent decades). Ive and started to work together with the developer, expecting to create a physical device for the Open.

However, the company has removed all the mentions of its site and social networks, including a video of almost 10 minutes from Ive and CEO Sam Altman talking about the plans for the ‘physical chatgpt’.

OpenAi made a big announcement …

In the announcement of the purchase of IO, OpenAi released an open letter from Altman and Ive, and a nine -minute video of the two talking. Not to mention the publications on social networks.

In the letter, published on the developer’s blog, the executives said:

The IO team, focused on the development of products that inspire, enable and enable, will now merge with OpenAi to work more intimately with research, engineering and product teams in San Francisco.

But had to delete it

OpenAi didn’t delete the ad because it wanted to.

In X, the company’s press profile wrote that the page is out of time due to “a court order after an IYO trademark complaint about the use of IYO’s name“ IO ”. That is, a process in progress by IYO, the unmeasured hearing aids of Google, because of the name of the Ive company.

The developer said she does not agree with the complaint and is analyzing options.

However, the company guaranteed the The Verge that the purchase and partnership continue.

This page is temporary down due to court order following a trademark complaint from iyo about use of the name “io.” We Don’t Agree with the Complaint and Are Reviewing Our Options.https://t.co/suwmrpthqb
