Quick Take
OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman acknowledges that ChatGPT's plugins failed due to unprepared models, envisioning a future with invisible, context-aware agents instead. However, OpenAI's Codex is still far from achieving this advanced vision.
Key Points
- ChatGPT's plugins were heavily marketed but ultimately failed due to model limitations.
- Brockman envisions a future with minimal software interfaces for users.
- Current AI models, including Codex, are not yet capable of this vision.
- The shift towards context-aware agents could redefine user interaction with technology.

An AI model programmed nonstop for 19 days on a single MirrorCode task that cost $2,600 to run
Epoch AI's MirrorCode benchmark reveals Claude Opus 4.7 as the leader with a 56% solve rate, reconstructing a 16,000-line toolkit in 14 hours. Despite this, all models tested struggle with the most complex tasks, highlighting limitations in current AI capabilities. The single task consumed $2,600 over 19 days, raising questions about cost-effectiveness in AI development.
