AI managers rise: firms push for supervising agent teams over single chatbots

TL;DR Summary
Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 with 'agent teams' and OpenAI's Frontier push a model where users supervise multiple AI agents that split tasks and connect to business systems, signaling a shift from chat-based assistants to an AI-enabled workforce. The rollout, plus a Codex desktop app and GPT-5.3-Codex, enables parallel agent work, but experts warn humans are still needed for oversight and benchmarks show mixed results; the launches also coincided with notable swings in software stock prices.
