Apple Vision Pro 主管副总裁加入 OpenAI 硬件团队
阅读原文· techcrunch.com据 Bloomberg 的 Mark Gurman 报道，负责 Apple Vision Pro 头显的副总裁 Paul Meade 将离开苹果，加入 OpenAI 的硬件团队。Meade 此前还主导了苹果计划于明年推出的 AI 智能眼镜的开发。Vision Pro 因成本高昂未获市场成功，苹果希望更便宜的智能眼镜能与 Meta 的可穿戴设备竞争。Gurman 认为此举与 John Ternus 即将升任 CEO 并重组硬件工程团队有关，部分副总裁感到被降职。OpenAI 已与苹果前首席设计官 Jony Ive 合作开发一款 AI 设备。TechCrunch 已联系苹果和 OpenAI 寻求评论。

Apple Vision Pro exec is reportedly leaving for OpenAI
Paul Meade, the Apple vice president in charge of the Vision Pro headset, is leaving the company to join OpenAI’s hardware team, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Meade also reportedly led the development of the AI-powered smart glasses that Apple plans to launch next year. The costly Vision Pro was not a hit, but Apple is hoping that more affordable smart glasses will help it compete with wearable devices from Meta.
Gurman frames this departure as a byproduct of John Ternus’ imminent elevation to Apple CEO, and of Ternus’ decision to shake up the hardware engineering team, which left some of the company’s vice presidents feeling like they’d been demoted.
OpenAI, meanwhile, is already working with Apple’s former chief design officer Jony Ive on an AI device that CEO Sam Altman has claimed will be more peaceful and calm than an iPhone, though reports last fall suggested the company was struggling to get the details right.
