O esperado primeiro equipamento de inteligência artificial da OpenAI continua envolto de mistério e voltou a ser adiado. A equipa, liderada por Jony Ive, o “pai” do iPhone, está a recrutar elementos para a sua equipa diretamente da Apple.

Microsoft is looking to sell its in-house AI models as more efficient and cost-effective than its competitors' models.

OpenAI, which is in the middle of a legal battle with Apple over hardware trade theft allegations, just released a light-up keyboard designed to be paired with its agentic coding app.

As rumors continue to swirl about OpenAI's work on a personalized smart speaker and other hardware, the company is today rolling out its first branded device. The $230 Codex Micro is a specialized, RGB-lit mini-keyboard designed to let users monitor and quickly interact with multiple Codex agents with a glance and a few clicks.

The device is described as a "limited-run collaboration" with Work Louder, which already sells a very similar-looking Creator Micro line of customizable square keyboards targeted at creative professionals. The Codex Micro differentiates itself from those mainly through six frosted keys in the top two rows, which offer color-coded live feedback on up to six Codex threads, even when they are not in focus on-screen.

Ideally, those colored keys will cycle from white when a thread is idle to blue when Codex is thinking to green when a task is complete. But the keys can also flash amber when Codex requires feedback or a decision from a human operator and red when a thread encounters an error, letting users know at a glance which of their Codex tasks needs immediate attention. A quick tap on the lit-up button brings up the applicable Codex window on-screen.

In October, OpenAI unveiled an AI browser dubbed Atlas, purportedly designed to help you “understand your world” and “achieve your goals” by putting ChatGPT front and center.

A special “agent mode” was meant to book flights or buy groceries online on your behalf without you ever having to lift your finger.

“The browser just changed,” OpenAI’s head of ChatGPT boasted at the time, calling it a major step in ChatGPT evolving into an entire AI operating system.

But the cracks started to show almost immediately. There were glaring cybersecurity concerns, including a major vulnerability to prompt injection attacks. Its agent worked at a frustratingly glacial pace — it took the browser ten full minutes to add three items to an Amazon shopping cart, as The Verge found out the hard way. It even ignored huge portions of the internet like the plague, highlighting ongoing legal battles over copyright.

And now OpenAI is pulling the plug on the nonstarter browser, a mere nine months after launching it.

In an announcement, the company said it was updating browser extensions designed for Google Chrome — which still dominates the global web browser market — by building on “what we learned from Atlas.”

“Atlas is scheduled to stop working on August 9, 2026,” the company wrote in separate ChatGPT release notes.

Atlas joins a growing graveyard of OpenAI products — distracting “side quests,” according to OpenAI CEO of applications Fidji Simo, herself now leaving the company — that failed to take off.

The latest news highlights how the Sam Altman-led company and the AI industry as a whole is seriously struggling to come up with meaningful products based on the tech. Case in point, OpenAI’s catastrophic text-to-video AI app Sora didn’t even make it to five months of being online. The feature became ground-zero for flagrantly copyright-infringing footage, opening the company up to major legal drama.

As it abandons its efforts to build its own AI-powered browser, OpenAI is launching a new platform, called ChatGPT Work, a software suite designed for office work.

“It can gather information across your apps and workflows to create finished materials like sheets, slides, docs, and web apps, and stay with complex projects for hours by breaking them into smaller steps and completing them independently,” the company said in an announcement.

Whether the new app will fare any better than its ill-fated browser is anything but certain, especially considering the major cybersecurity implications of giving AI agents such extensive access to potentially sensitive data.
