OpenAI Acquires Smartphone Camera Maker Glass Imaging For Over $300 Million
The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI has acquired Glass Imaging, a Los Altos camera company founded in 2019, for more than $300 million. Glass Imaging develops GLASS AI, which improves image quality at the time of shooting by learning a target camera's aberrations and noise. Its Neural ISP is used in HONOR's HONOR 600. Co-founders Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop are former Apple engineers who led the team behind iPhone Portrait mode. TechCrunch says OpenAI had not responded to a request for comment.
