Summary
TechCrunch reported, citing The Wall Street Journal, that OpenAI bought Glass Imaging, a startup founded by former Apple camera engineers. Glass uses neural networks during image capture to improve smartphone photography rather than applying edits only after capture.
Why it matters
The deal adds specialised imaging capability to OpenAI’s expanding consumer-hardware strategy, although its product plans remain undisclosed.
