Codex for (almost) everything

Why it matters

The updated Codex app for macOS and Windows adds computer use, in-app browsing, image generation, memory, and plugins to accelerate developer workflows.

My takeaway: Signals the move toward multi-capability developer agents that combine browsing, memory, image generation, and computer use. That broadens evaluation from prompt quality to tool abuse, data leakage, and action safety.
