Why Parallelize?

Here are some specific use cases we enable:

  • Contextual continuity between relevant changes:
    • e.g. create a workspace for code-review, refactor, and new-feature
  • GPT-5-Pro: use the slow but powerful GPT-5-Pro for complex issues
    • Run in the background for hours on end
    • The stream will automatically resume after restarts or intermittent connection issues. We show a subtle indicator when the model completes.
  • A/B testing: test a variety of approaches to the same problem, abandon the bad ones.
  • Tangent management: launch tangents in cmux away from main work
