T-Mobile and Perplexity announce new 'AI phone' priced at under $1K | TechCrunch
Briefly

T-Mobile is set to launch an AI-focused smartphone, collaborating with Perplexity and Black Forest Labs, alongside a new AI assistant, "Magenta AI." This initiative marks T-Mobile's transformation into an AI-centric company, with plans for the phone to be unveiled in late 2023 and available for purchase in 2026, priced under $1,000. Perplexity, known for its AI search engine, will provide advanced functionalities, shifting from a query-response model to an action-oriented interface. T-Mobile's Claudia Nemat emphasized their commitment to AI, while many hardware specifics remain undisclosed.
We are becoming an AI company. It's not building foundational large language models, but we do the AI agents.
Perplexity is transitioning from just being an answer machine to an action machine, able to do things like booking flights or sending messages.
