OpenAI is bringing your AI agent to your fingertips, literally.<\/p>\n

The AI lab’s first hardware product has officially arrived. Codex Micro is a mini keyboard built for power users of OpenAI’s coding product. The device is engineered by Work Louder, a Canadian-Italian producer of keyboards and other accessories.<\/p>\n

No, this isn’t the fabled Jony Ive collaboration that’s in the works. (OpenAI’s CFO said that would revealed by the end of the year.) Rather, this device is a boon for AI coders \u2014 and a signal for where OpenAI is placing its bets.<\/p>\n

Introducing the Codex Micro<\/h2>\n

For $230, Codex users can make vibe coding even easier \u2014 and more tactile.<\/p>\n

The Codex Micro includes six light-up keys that show an agent’s status. For those into multi-agent orchestrations, the keys also allow users to seamlessly jump between agents. There’s a joystick for navigation and a dial for adjusting the agent’s reasoning level.<\/p>\n

The keyboard also has a customizable set of shortcut keys for common Codex actions. That includes a voice recorder for those who send audio prompts to their agents.<\/p>\n

Work Louder produces several mechanical keyboards. As such, the Codex Micro comes in two options for the mechanical keys: “clicky” and “silent.”<\/p>\n

Codex on the rise<\/h2>\n

As OpenAI continues its quest to cut down on “side quests,” AI coding has grown into a key priority.<\/p>\n

The company has bet big on Codex, including expensive advertising campaigns and offering free usage perks. Last week, the company merged Codex into the ChatGPT desktop app.<\/p>\n

Codex and ChatGPT Work have reached 8 million active users, per Thibault Sottiaux, Codex’s engineering lead.<\/p>\n
