  "summary": "Computer use agents (CUAs), which use graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to complete tasks on a computer, have recently surpassed human performance on many standard benchmarks, including difficult long-horizon tasks. Their capabilities are undoubtedly impressive, however, a key barrier to the widespread adoption and deployment of CUAs remains their speed and cost. Progress towards faster yet…",
