“Everyone wants to be the layer between you and your computer. I am in.”
Robert Scoble@ScobleizerTECH#447Story Brief
On X, Robert Scoble jumped on a post about Sol, a computer-use capability tied in the conversation to Codex and GPT-5.6, with a blunt framing: "Everyone wants to be the layer between you and your computer. I am in." In the same conversation, mckbrando made a similar case, arguing that computer use in Codex is "defining the frontier" and that the jump from versions 5.4 to 5.6 has been dramatic.
“Computer Use in Codex is defining the frontier, and the improvements you’ve felt from 5.4 to 5.6 for CUA will only accelerate with future releases. 2026 will be the year of Computer Use!”
