OpenAI Launches AI-Powered Keypad for Coders Amid Legal Disputes
OpenAI has introduced its first hardware product, a keypad called Micro designed to work with ChatGPT and developed in collaboration with Work Louder. The device features customizable keys that can control tasks within ChatGPT or the coding tool Codex. While it aims to streamline workflows for developers using voice dictation and key assignments, early reviews have been mixed, with some critics calling it overpriced at $230 compared to alternatives. The product's launch comes amid legal challenges as Apple has sued OpenAI for alleged trade theft. Additionally, reports suggest that a new smart home device in development was created by former Apple engineers, raising further questions about the company’s hardware ambitions and potential conflicts with its partners.
