OpenAI acquired Glass Imaging in a deal valuing the startup at over $300 million. The acquisition marks a significant expansion for the AI giant into hardware-related technologies.

Former Apple employees Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop founded Glass Imaging to enhance smartphone image quality using artificial intelligence. The software aims to deliver results comparable to professional DSLR cameras.

The company was valued at approximately $100 million during a funding round last year. This latest deal highlights a rapid increase in the startup's market valuation.
