What the numbers mean

Background

Computer-Using Agent (CUA) was published by OpenAI, in United States of America, in January 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Vision, Language, Multimodal, and is recorded as doing instruction interpretation, System control.

Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.

How it was trained

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Answers

Computer-Using Agent (CUA) — common questions

01
