- Ari Weinstein Ari Weinstein’s speed thesis is that expert-level computer use could make delegation the default. He says agents are already faster than the average human at using a computer and are “getting really close” to exceeding experts. The …
- Computer use gives agents access to legacy software without waiting for new integrations. Weinstein’s framing is that “computer use works with everything,” using applications through the same interface as a person. He expects …
- James Sun Enterprise adoption depends on enforceable boundaries alongside better models. James Sun describes application and website restrictions, configurable approval requirements, and a system he calls Guardian—or …
- Seema Amble The clearest immediate workflows connect tedious work across systems of record. Sun’s procurement example moves 1,000 spreadsheet rows through purchasing software and vendor outreach; finance reconciliation offers …

- Ari Weinstein OpenAI argues computer use has crossed from brittle demos into useful labor, responding to a claim from a leading AI podcast that it had not advanced in two years. Ari Weinstein says agents are now “faster at accomplishing tasks than the average human probably in most cases,” in part because they can …
- Latent Space The economic unlock is improving faster than headline model pricing suggests. GPT-6.1 Soul was presented as one-fifth the cost of Astra overall and one-seventh the cost for computer use specifically. The host also …
- Ari Weinstein Dots turns computer use into general-purpose delegation by giving each Dot its own Linux cloud computer. The addressable surface is effectively any human-facing software, including services with poor APIs: Ari’s meal order fell from two hours …
- Latent Space Computer use is increasingly a multimodal systems problem, not a screenshot-clicking benchmark. Agents can combine screenshots, accessibility data, Playwright, direct DOM access, and generated JavaScript that performs multiple actions …
- Ari Weinstein The Agents API creates a distribution advantage because OpenAI trains models on the same computer-use harness developers can use. Ari says that may improve “speed and cost and accuracy,” while autonomous testing closes the software-development loop: an agent can build …
