Latent Space: 'Agents for Everything Else' — Coding Agents Breaking Containment Into Knowledge and Creative Work
Latent Space's AINews analysis frames 2026 as the year coding agents 'break containment' into everything else. The thesis: OpenAI's Codex pivot to knowledge work and Anthropic's creative tool connectors represent a strategic convergence — both companies racing from coding agents to general computer-use agents. The parallel timing (within days of each other) suggests this is an industry-wide phase shift, not isolated product moves. For builders: the agent abstraction that won for code is now the interface for all computer work.
