An unexpected personnel change brought OpenAI's Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil to the stage of the Marriott Hotel in San Francisco. This Silicon Valley product master, who previously achieved commercial miracles at Twitter and Instagram, now bears the responsibility of OpenAI's commercialization transformation. Just days earlier, the sudden departure of the company's CTO Mira Murati once again placed OpenAI in the spotlight. This executive reshuffle is not a coincidence. Over the past year, OpenAI has faced wave after wave of challenges.
OpenAI's latest release of the Realtime Embedded SDK has stirred the industry, providing a development toolkit aimed at microcontrollers that advances the integration of artificial intelligence with miniature hardware. This SDK is specifically designed for microcontrollers like the ESP32 and enables real-time interaction between devices and cloud-based AI models through WiFi, significantly lowering the technical barriers to smart hardware development. This news quickly triggered a ripple effect in the market, leading to an increase in prices for ESP32-related hardware, including modules, chips, and accessories.
