Understand the event

AI overview

OpenAI added support for connecting multiple local computers to one Codex dot and choosing which computer handles a task. Each thread uses one computer at a time, and tasks already underway stay on their selected machine. OpenAI says this lets someone build and test an app on a dedicated computer while continuing to code on a laptop. The feature is gradually rolling out to ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium users. Pro access is limited to people 18 and older and is unavailable in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare administrators must enable access for now; it is scheduled to turn on by default on November 18 unless an organization opts out.
