OpenAI has acquired smartphone camera technology company Glass Imaging for more than $300 million, according to a report cited by Odaily and sourced to techCrunch. Founded in 2019, Glass Imaging had previously raised about $30 million in total funding.
The company was founded by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, who previously led development of Apple’s Portrait Mode team. Its core technology uses neural networks to optimize camera systems across different smartphones, improving image quality during capture rather than relying only on post-processing, with the stated goal of pushing past the physical size limits of phone cameras.
As of publication, OpenAI had not responded to a request for comment. The report also noted that multiple market reports have said OpenAI is developing its own hardware products, including smartphones, headphones, and AI companion devices.
