Thanks. Could you share the link?

I'm having trouble finding their website.

I don't think they got as far as making a website before being acquired. AFAICT the name of the company hadn't even been announced prior to this, it was just vaguely referred to as Jony Ive's hardware company.
Thank you for providing context.

"About 55 hardware engineers, software developers, and manufacturing experts will join OpenAI as part of the acquisition". (for $6.5B)

So I think WhatsApp still holds the record for engineer/$B acquisition:

"WhatsApp had 32 engineers when it was bought for 19 billion dollars."

Even more if you correct for inflation.

Ah, that clears things up. No wonder the website is hard to find if they hadn’t officially announced the company yet.
