What does "major update to codex" mean? New model? Or just new desktop app? The announcement is vague.

They felt the pressure of posting something after Claude 4.7

It was already leaked several days ago and they've been teasing it for weeks. They had already said that it was coming this week specifically.

First use case I'm putting to work is testing web apps as a user. Although it seems like this could be a token burner. Saving and mostly replaying might be nice to have.

Do people really want codex to have control over their computer and apps?

I'm still paranoid about keeping things securely sandboxed.

Obviously they pressed the "publish" button since Opus was released. Do not deny it.

There seems a fair enthusiasm in the UI of these to hide code from coders. Like the prompt interaction is the true source and the actual code is some sort of annoying intermediate runtime inconvenience to cover up. I get that productivity can be improved with a lot of this for non developers, just not sure using 'code' as the term is the right one or not.
