The expanding toolkit

Over the last year, capabilities that used to require heavy scaffolding have moved into the model: reliable tool use, context management, writing and running code, computer use, and more. This session walks through these capabilities, shows what changed between model generations, and demonstrates how they compose into agents that finish work instead of just starting it.
