OpenAI Announces Device for Codex AI Tool, Launching July 15
"Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade."
OpenAI has revealed a dedicated hardware device tied to its AI-powered coding tool, Codex. Set for release on July 15, the device was announced via a teaser video posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The square-shaped device features several buttons and a sleek design. The teaser clip, captioned with the promise of upgraded shortcuts, shows a silhouette that closely resembles the Creator Micro 2 by Work Louder. This mechanical keyboard and macro pad company specializes in customizable peripherals with mappable keys, dials, and switches.
The partnership with Work Louder suggests a focus on productivity. The Creator Micro 2, which the device mirrors, includes 13 mechanical switches, a joystick, and a touch sensor.
It’s important to note that this collaboration is separate from other projects. This device is not related to the mysterious AI hardware OpenAI is developing in partnership with former Apple designer Jony Ive.
Further specifications and pricing have not yet been disclosed.
