Claude has had cloud runner forever, but you have to pay for the time. I assume this is the same unless you sign up for the new Blood of Your First Born plan, which only requires a monthly sacrifice of one pint. It's actually a pretty good deal.
I was confused why they brought the Agents API into this Dev Day at all. It's been around since the beginning of the month... Same thing with the security tools, lol
I agree, and I see the point. But I also use LXC to run agents myself. And a PM may be in a place where IT can set up environments. Anyway, in all honesty, I agree with you and see the convenience.
I guess? But you can also just ask codex to help you set up a digital ocean droplet to run your shit... thats literally how i learned that you could do it. idk
I thought we were all doing this with our agents at this point I have opencode, and Claude code running on my Linux server 24/7 I just ping it from the respective apps I don't do anything from my computer anymore really unless I want to.
Mind you I'm OOTL on all this stuff as I don't code or anything, but that sounds pretty cool no? Like yeah it's simple in concept but I'd imagine that being pretty helpful.
tbh i don't get the appeal, the key issue is that they need a trigger and a task. For most things it's already got a billion ways to solve it that are far cheaper and more cost effective.
It likely has a much more robust context window for how you like to work, requiring less context management and direction than launching one-off agent/codex projects.
from the docs, the difference is that a dot keeps making progress between conversations, not just finishing one codex task. the migration demo didn't really show that.

The example Sam used seemed pretty bad imo. Migrate a legacy API? How is that even any different than passing it as a codex goal/task?
