These are OpenAI’s product and benchmark claims; the post itself does not provide independent evaluation or a full product specification.

A Codex operator separates browser-driving agents from the desktop with VMs.
Peter Steinberger describes a Codex instance using browser and computer-use controls to reach a GitHub pull request and macOS file picker for image upload, then says he runs the agent in VMs to avoid stealing app focus. This is a first-person operating practice, not evidence of credential isolation, file containment, or a general security recommendation.
