OpenAI’s First Hardware Product Will Be AI‑Powered Earbuds Called Dime
OpenAI's entry into the hardware market is starting to look more concrete but potentially less ambitious than expected, with recent reports pointing to a strategic pivot for their rumored earbuds.
Details:
A recent patent filing in China suggests the product may launch under the consumer name “Dime.” It’s expected to debut as standard audio earbuds, not the standalone “phone-like” computer originally planned
The delay of the high-end version is mainly due to soaring bill-of-materials costs. In a twist, AI chip demand from companies like OpenAI has made the needed memory too expensive for them to use
Targeting a 2026 release, the company wants to gain traction with the simpler device first. Then, once shortages ease, it plans to launch the advanced model with smartphone-level internals
This shows how tough hardware manufacturing is, even for tech giants, while OpenAI slows its short-term plans but keeps its long-term goal of getting its tech into your ears.

Tech Giants Pour $700 Billion Into AI as Shortages and Price Hikes Spread
The Washington Post reports that five major AI firms will spend about $700 billion this year on data centers and chips, nearly double last year and close to three-quarters of the U.S. military budget.
Details:
The surge in data center construction is drawing resources away from other building projects and causing shortages of skilled labor like electricians, which is driving up general construction costs
Intense demand for hardware has already increased prices for memory chips, leading analysts to predict that consumers will soon see higher price tags on everyday electronics
Investment capital is increasingly concentrated among a few large AI companies, leaving smaller tech firms with shrinking funding opportunities and fewer resources to compete
As the race for AI dominance accelerates, this massive allocation of capital is creating bottlenecks and price hikes that are beginning to be felt far beyond the technology sector.

How to Set Up Gemini Features in Gmail in 2 Minutes
Google just added Gemini inside Gmail, and it’s more useful than most people think. In a few minutes, you can search your inbox with plain English, draft replies using the thread’s context, and quickly adjust tone and length.
Check subscription
Make sure you’re using a Google Workspace account or an “AI Pro” personal account.
Adjust Gmail settings
Go to Gmail. Tap Settings (top right). Make sure “smart features” are enabled among the available options.
Use Ask Gemini to search
Press “Ask Gemini” next to Settings and ask it questions about what’s in your email.
Example prompts:
“Show me the emails about my upcoming invoices.”“Find messages related to the event invite I got this week.”Start draft
Enter any email draft. Use one of these to trigger Gemini:
Option + H (Mac)
Alt + H (Windows)
Or tap “Help me write”
Let it write using context
Tell Gemini what you want the email to say, and it will draft it based on the existing thread or draft.
Example prompts:
“Write a polite reply asking for a quick update and a fresh timeline.”“Draft a short thank-you note and confirm I’ll follow up tomorrow.”Regenerate tone and length
After Gemini writes a reply:
Tap “Recreate” to regenerate it
