OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT artificial intelligence, has unveiled its first device—the Codex Micro mini-keyboard. It was created in partnership with Work Louder, a Canadian-Italian company that manufactures keyboards and other accessories. The device is already on sale for $230.
The device is designed for experienced users of OpenAI’s coding software suite, according to Business Insider. The publication notes that this device is unrelated to the gadget being developed for the AI startup by former Apple designer Jony Ive.
The Codex Micro is equipped with six backlit keys that indicate the AI agent’s status. Users working with multiple agents simultaneously can use these keys to quickly switch between them. A joystick is provided for navigation, and a slider allows you to adjust the agent’s reasoning level. The keyboard also features a customizable set of hotkeys for the most common actions in Codex. These include a voice recording button for users who send audio requests to agents.
OpenAI has placed a major bet on Codex. Last week, alongside the release of Codex 6.5 Soul, OpenAI integrated Codex into the ChatGPT desktop app. According to Thibault Sottio, head of Codex development, the number of active users of Codex and ChatGPT Work has reached 8 million.
