Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

OpenAI has quietly bought Glass Imaging, a company developing smartphone cameras that use AI to produce image quality on par with a DSLR camera. The deal values Glass Imaging at over $300 million. OpenAI's plans for the company are unclear, but it has been developing a secretive device with Jony Ive, the former Apple executive who helped design the iPhone. Glass Imaging was founded in 2019 by two former Apple employees who had previously worked on camera technology at the company.
