OpenAI’s first hardware gadget explained: What Codex Micro does

OpenAI’s first hardware product is here, and unlike the rumours, it isn’t a smartphone-killing device or a smartphone running ChatGPT! It isn’t even an AI voice device. Sam Altman’s AI firm has created something for developers, and it looks like a product from the 1980s!

Unveiled at the AI Engineer World Fair in San Francisco, OpenAI’s debut hardware gadget is called the Codex Micro — a specialised, tactile input device designed to fundamentally shift how programmers interact with artificial intelligence.
