The battle for the "Desktop" has officially begun. With OpenAI beefing up Codex to gain more control over the OS and Anthropic releasing a new Opus model focused on high-end software engineering, we're moving past "chatbots" and into "operators."
The real winner isn't the model with the most parameters, but the one that can reliably execute complex workflows without hallucinating the file system. If OpenAI can nail the "desktop power" angle while Anthropic wins on "engineering precision," we're looking at a fragmented AI OS future.
Quick take: Stop worrying about the LLM; start worrying about the tool-use reliability. That's where the actual value is created.
