Nobody outside the project has confirmed how much human steering stood between the failure and the result, which is the honest footnote on every spectacular agent story.
Inside the episode:
🔴 A small model scoring 72.4% on the offline OSWorld computer use benchmark, up from 15.7% for its predecessor, with the larger model still ahead at 83.9%
🔴 Input priced at 10 cents per million tokens against $1 for the previous version, a tenth of the cost
🔴 39.2% on a command line benchmark, plus customer figures the customers chose to share
🔴 A universal work agent reachable from Gmail, Slack, Microsoft 365 and both desktops, with hard spending caps administrators can set
🔴 Answers that build their own charts, forms and buttons, now on free plans too
A model priced at 10 cents still needs a ceiling set by a person. 🎙️
