OpenAI Purchased Glass Imaging for 95 Billion Forints
OpenAI signed a deal to acquire the company Glass Imaging for $300 million, which is approximately 95 billion forints. The transaction likely aims at developing AI-based smartphone camera technology.
OpenAI made an unusual investment when it purchased the company Glass Imaging for $300 million – roughly equivalent to 95 billion forints.
Glass Imaging was founded in 2019 by two former Apple engineers, Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop. They led the team that created the iPhone portrait mode, which inspired the company's work.
The company applies AI to overcome the physical and size limitations of smartphone cameras. Their approach is not based on post‑processing photos but on a neural network that recognizes the camera system’s characteristics, delivering the best result with a single button press by the user.
OpenAI did not disclose details about the motivation behind the purchase, but it is likely that the company intends to integrate the acquired technology into its own devices.
