On January 20th, according to BlepingComputerOpenAI It's been discovered in recent dayssonataThe new sub-domain name, which is prefixed to a domain name, is supposed to correspond to a new ChatGPT function or new product that is being tested。
The records show that sonata.openai.com appeared for the first time on January 16, and that sonata.api.openai.com was discovered on January 15, meaning that OpenAI has launched the prefix in conjunction with the API system, usually for new services or user-oriented web tools in internal testing。
It was reported that OpenAI ' s new domain names often correspond to unpublished product pages, internal tools or Web applications. Although the term "sonata" is often used in its own right to refer to Doccer instruments, its meaning is not limited to music, so it is not yet possible to judge the course of the function。
In addition to the new domain name, OpenAI has recently been continuously updating the current capabilities of ChatGPT, including the Quoting Chat, which, when the user opens, will be more reliable when retrieving the details of the old conversation and will indicate the source of the reference in the answer, which will allow the user to trace the context。
In addition, according to Axios, OpenAI Global Director Chris Lehane said today at the Axios House event in Davos that OpenAI is moving forward with its first hardware equipment as planned, with the goal of showing up later this year。
This is the first time that OpenAI has given a clearer window of time since last year's acquisition of the company founded by Johnny Ive, former Apple Design Manager。
Lehane listed "equipment" as one of the main directions of OpenAI this year, but did not reveal any appearance, form or interaction. Several previous reports mentioned that OpenAI was testing small, screen-free prototypes that could interact with users in a dressable manner。
Sam Altman has stated that the device will be more "peaceful" than a smartphone, with a very simple design at its core。
The Ive team also suggested in a promotional video released last year when it was acquired, that the 2026 issue node "We look forward to sharing our work with you next year."。
Lehane added that OpenAI was "considering putting something in place later this year", but still retained the space to adjust, stressing that the final time depended on progress in research and development. He did not promise that the equipment would be officially sold this year。
