- OpenAI has launched its first hardware product, the Codex Micro, a miniature keyboard priced at $230, designed as an AI coding assistant for its Codex tool.
- The Codex Micro, developed with Work Louder, features a joystick, rotary dial, 12 buttons, USB-C, and Bluetooth capabilities.
- This launch follows Apple filing a lawsuit accusing OpenAI of stealing hardware trade secrets through former employees, an accusation OpenAI denies.
- OpenAI is also developing another AI device, described by CEO Sam Altman as a ”humanlike” companion and “the coolest piece of technology the world will have ever seen”.
- This future device, rumoured to launch in 2027, is expected to be a screenless smart speaker with a camera and sensors, designed to be fully aware of a user's surroundings.
