OpenAI dots can now spread tasks across multiple local computers

OpenAI said on November 9th that a single dot can now connect to multiple local computers and choose which machine handles a given task, per a thread on X from its developer account. OpenAI framed the change around a practical split in which a dot builds and tests an app on a dedicated machine while the developer keeps coding on a laptop, and its documentation now states the same capability. Multi-computer support turns a dot from a cloud agent with one local foothold into a coordinator across a developer's whole desk, strengthening OpenAI's claim on build, test and QA work that depends on specific local toolchains, SDK versions and desktop apps.
