🚨 BREAKING: Hugging Face just dropped a free AI agent that uses a computer like a human.

It’s called Open Computer Agent, and it mimics real computer use.

You can run it in your browser no install required.

Here's everything you need to know:
Test it here:

Open Computer Agent runs on a cloud Linux VM with apps like Firefox.

Give it a task like “Find Hugging Face HQ on Google Maps,” and it clicks, types, and navigates like a person would.

But…it’s slow. It struggles with CAPTCHAs. And complex tasks like booking flights trip it up.huggingface.co/spaces/smolage…
The goal isn’t perfection it’s proof.

Hugging Face wants to show that open models are catching up fast.

Vision models now "see" interface elements and click with precision.

And cloud costs are dropping.

This is just the beginning of open agentic AI.
