Yes, you can set it up to do this. But 99.9% of users won’t. Claude should have great native computer use.

Wait, you guys aren’t using Codex’s Chrome/Computer use in your Claude Code?

just ask opus 5.5 to use 6.1 sol through cli for computer use tasks

“Update this spreadsheet from the dashboard” should be enough. The agent can choose an API for one step and the browser for another. Most people shouldn’t need to know which tool did which part, much less wire the tools together before they can ask.

That combo would be absolutely insane 😭. The coding is already crazy, imagine adding that level of computer use.

Replying to @mattshumer_
Honestly, that combo would be terrifyingly powerful.

computer use is just so damn slow, why in the world would you want it, and it can't maintain your session, it gets blocked, you can't get it working natively, it's so bad imo

codex's computer use is the one lead it still has. i don't need opus clicking around the web, i need it opening my mac app build and checking the ui itself so i stop being the qa guy

You can just use Claude Code and ask to delegate to Codex all the computer use tasks

You can actually wire up Cliade code to use codex computer use - look it up it’s an easy skill

everyone thinks codex computer use only works inside codex it doesn't, it's a local mcp server in the chatgpt mac app and claude code can just call it, even headless with claude -p same 8-task test: opus 5.5 on codex's engine got 6/8, codex itself got 6/8, cua driver got 3-4/8 at 4x the cost cua's background mode on mac only goes through accessibility, so canvases and drags just don't land codex's engine sends real clicks and drags to the app without touching my cursor no hover though, and it's unofficial, so enjoy it until a chatgpt update breaks it give this to your claude: "Set up Codex's computer use as an MCP server for you on my Mac. Find the "cua_repl" entry in ~/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/unified-computer-use/<newest version>/.mcp.json and register it as a user MCP server called "codex-cu" with the same command, args and env. Then test it by using Calculator in the background to work out 12 × 12."

Computer use is the one that matters for small operators. I run a dozen single-job bots on my Alabama ranch. The day they can work every clunky government website on their own, I get my evenings back.

Claude has great computer use capabilities the model is just scared to death to actually do anything

goes to show how early we are, capabilities are so distributed among various models from various companies

Everything is beatable imo - give it time. Will be good though, agree on that.

Lols - my codex controls Claude for outputs. Codex controls the computer. I am just living in codex all the time, don’t touch my computer. Claude working its fingers to the knuckle for codex.

How about Claude Opus 5.6 with Codex-level computer use?

Prettt sure you can use the codex harness for whatever you want ? I use it for Qwen idk why it wouldn’t work with opus 5.5 via api

Hypothetically yes, but realistically, by the time Anthropic figures out computer use, there will be Astra/Sol 7 with computer use. Using the past 3 months as reference, OpenAI and Anthropic seem to take turns getting ahead, so which model becomes unbeatable is largely uncertain.
