Ayaneo's Gaming Handheld: An Absolute Unit!

OpenAI's standalone Codex application, designed for Mac computers, reached a significant milestone, surpassing one million downloads in its first week, according to CEO Sam Altman. This rapid adoption mirrors the explosive growth of OpenAI's popular chatbot, ChatGPT, following its launch in late 2022.

The surge in Codex downloads reflects a 60% week-over-week growth in overall users, following the app's February 2 launch and the subsequent release of the underlying GPT-5.3-Codex model, as reported by VentureBeat. While celebrating this rapid adoption, OpenAI is signaling a transition from unlimited free access to its most powerful tools towards a more restricted model.

In other tech news, the AI landscape is facing challenges beyond the hardware itself. As enterprises invest heavily in GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, many are finding that their expensive compute resources are underutilized. The issue, according to Mark Menger, solutions architect at F5, isn't the hardware, but rather the data delivery layer between storage and compute, which is "starving GPUs of the information they need." He added that GPUs are "waiting on data."

Meanwhile, the gaming world saw the unveiling of the Ayaneo Next II handheld. This Windows gaming handheld is a substantial device, weighing in at 3.14 pounds and measuring 13.45 inches wide and 10.3 inches tall, according to Ars Technica. This makes it significantly heavier than the Steam Deck OLED and the original Ayaneo Next.

In a different sector, a recent online experiment, Moltbook, which featured AI agents interacting with each other, sparked comparisons to Pokémon. Will Douglas Heaven, senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review, noted that the experiment, despite its potential, reminded him of the popular game.

Finally, in the realm of consumer electronics, a deal on the Epson ET-2980 printer was highlighted. Best Buy is offering the printer for $220, a $100 markdown from its usual price, according to Wired. The printer offers thousands of pages of excellent printing and could potentially last for years before needing a refill.
