OpenAI Expands Codex Use Cases

On June 3, OpenAI announced an expansion of Codex’s capabilities, introducing six new professional role plugins covering 62 applications and 110 skills. The new plugins target data analysis, creative production, sales, product design, public equity investing, and investment banking. The data analysis plugin helps teams query business data, explain metric changes, and generate reports or dashboards through integrations with tools such as Snowflake, Databricks Genie, Hex, and Tableau. The creative production plugin is designed for marketing teams, transforming briefs into ad variations, campaign boards, product images, and lifestyle visuals.

In addition, OpenAI introduced a new Sites feature for Business and Enterprise subscribers, allowing users to create and share interactive hosted websites and applications. Codex can transform ideas, analyses, and plans into dashboards, planners, review workspaces, project boards, portfolios, and lightweight tools. These can be shared via URL with specific team members, providing a collaborative workspace for exploring projects, contributing ideas, tracking progress, and making decisions together. Annotation capabilities have also been extended to documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Users can select navigation elements, investment thesis statements, or chart labels within slides and instruct Codex to modify only those specific sections. Source

CHERRY Unveils the XTRFY K63W Pro Gaming Keyboard

On June 3, CHERRY’s gaming hardware brand CHERRY XTRFY introduced the world’s first gaming keyboard to support 8K UWB (Ultra-Wideband) wireless connectivity — the CHERRY XTRFY K63W Pro.

According to CHERRY, traditional wireless solutions used in peripherals often suffer from crowded and narrow communication channels. UWB technology, by contrast, transmits data using short-duration pulses across a much wider frequency spectrum, enabling more precise timing, reduced interference, and more stable communication.

The K63W Pro features a compact 70% layout and is equipped with the upgraded CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE 2.0 mechanical low-profile switches. It comes with ABS keycaps featuring laser etching and UV coating. Internally, the keyboard uses a gasket-mounted structure, supports an 8kHz polling rate, and includes a 6,000mAh battery capable of delivering up to 1,100 hours of battery life. The MX LP 2.0 switches have been redesigned with a smoother keystroke, improved stability, more consistent actuation, and a crisp yet fluid linear feel. An optimized lubrication process further reduces friction while enhancing both typing feel and key acoustics. The switches are rated for up to 100 million keystrokes. The keyboard will launch in Europe in early July with a suggested retail price of €179.99 (and the equivalent price in GBP), followed by a U.S. release in August with an MSRP of $169.99. Source

Longsys Announces AIDIMM and AILPBGA Memory Solutions

At COMPUTEX 2026, Longsys unveiled two specialized memory products designed for on-device AI inference: AIDIMM and AILPBGA. Both solutions are based on LPDDR5X memory, feature a 256-bit wide interface, and support transfer speeds of up to 9600MT/s.

The AIDIMM architecture shares some similarities with server-side SOCAMM2 modules but has been specifically optimized for AI agent host systems. Its four LPDDR DRAM chips are arranged horizontally along the shorter edge of the module. Measuring 80mm in length and 30mm in width, the module supports capacities of up to 128GB and uses a tool-free high-pin-count connector.

AILPBGA, meanwhile, targets embedded AI inference scenarios where compact size is a key requirement. It offers capacities ranging from 24GB to 64GB and is fully compatible with standard LPDDR interfaces. The solution uses a 22mm × 22mm BGA1764 package, delivering high memory bandwidth while maintaining a compact footprint and a high level of integration. Source
