OpenAI says dot now lets developers connect multiple local computers and pick one per task

According to a post on X by @OpenAIDevs, OpenAI says developers can now connect multiple local computers to the same dot and choose which machine handles a task. The post gives two examples: building and testing an app on a dedicated machine, and testing an Xcode change on a second Mac and sending back screenshots. The new capability lets work be spread across a developer's own computers instead of running everything on one laptop.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

OpenAI says developers can now connect multiple local computers to the same dot and choose which one handles a task. Examples include building and testing an app on a dedicated machine, or testing an Xcode change on a second Mac and sending back screenshots. Why it matters: Coding agents can now spread work across...

For developers using coding agents, this means tasks can run on other machines they own, so their main laptop is not tied up. Teams building Apple apps may find the second-Mac Xcode workflow the most relevant example. Watch for OpenAI's own documentation on how the setup works and how widely the feature is available.

Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
