>GPT Work runs on your own machines...is sort of the whole point.
Which is also why they want to remove it from your machine. Call it conspiratorial, but I keep thinking about "You'll own nothing and be happy." It seems like the industry is quickly moving in a direction where devices are turning into gateway into the cloud, and personal computing will turn into a hobby that prices out the average individual.
I mean, they didn't say "you can't download the product of your work" or something.
Sure, but neither did I. I summarized the quote, but OP's full quote included the the value of having the work artifacts and works-in-progress on your system to look at. If you are developing software on a VM, there will still be tools to view the artifacts remotely, but this Agents API is still a sign of local development trending away.
