Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) has come to an end. It exceeded NASA's initial goals, demonstrating capabilities that could help future astronauts explore Mars. It will also make it possible to generate oxygen for powering spacecraft. MOXIE has generated 122 grams of oxygen since the experiment kicked off two years ago. It works by converting Mars' plentiful carbon dioxide into oxygen.
