OpenAI's Computer-Using Agent — the model that clicked, scrolled and typed its way around websites on your behalf. Shut down July 23, 2026 as part of a 14-model cull that also took gpt-5-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max and gpt-5.2-codex. The whole computer-use preview line died in a single afternoon, eighteen months after it was billed as the future of agentic AI.
