> More than 5 million people use Codex each week to research, analyze, build, and automate their work—up 400% from earlier this year. Codex began as a tool for software developers and now helps a wider range of people do complex work from an initial request through to a finished result.

> As Codex becomes more capable, its most valuable work is unfolding over hours or days, rather than minutes. We believe people should be able to delegate more ambitious work without remaining tied to the machine where it began. The work should continue beyond the initial session, with Codex making it possible to stay connected and check progress, provide direction, make decisions, and review results from anywhere.

Seems compute layer ownership is going to be critical going forward
