Brockman showcases Sol Ultra computer use
OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman demonstrated "computer use" capabilities powered by GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra, the flagship tier of the new GPT-5.6 model family. The model leverages a cooperating subagent architecture to run tasks in parallel, achieving state-of-the-art benchmark results despite high compute demands.
While Sol Ultra's cooperating subagent architecture makes complex browser and terminal tasks highly reliable, the high token costs will force developers to rely on routing logic to reserve it for "hard-tail" problems.
* The model's subagent architecture allows parallel execution of task chunks, resulting in a state-of-the-art 91.9% score on Terminal-Bench 2.1.
* High compute requirements mean users can quickly exhaust API and chat limits, making it less suitable for routine queries.
* The demo highlights OpenAI's strong push toward autonomous desktop and workspace agents rather than simple chat interfaces.
