OpenAI is getting Deepseek’d again.

@Convergence_ai_, a tiny London startup just built one of the most capable AI agents for the web.

Proxy is outperforming Operator on every benchmark handpicked by @OpenAI.



Let’s dive in! 🧵↓ proxy.convergence.aiImage
Let’s start with this, proof that funding isn’t everything.

@OpenAI raised $18 billion.

@Convergence_ai_? Just $12 million! That’s 0.067% of OpenAI’s budget.



And yet, Proxy is faster, smarter, fully autonomous.

Task 1: Find chicken recipes.

❌ Operator gives up after 4 minutes.
✔️ Proxy completes it twice before Operator finishes.
✔️ Not only that, Proxy also delivers complete results.

3/
Task 2: Get the latest basketball news.

❌ Operator gets stuck on a CAPTCHA and needs human help.
✔️ Proxy bypasses it instantly with no manual input.
❌ Operator provides just a link with minimal info.
✔️ Proxy delivers full details in under a minute.

4/
Task 3: Find top-rated @Tripadvisor stays.

❌ Operator takes over 2 minutes and delivers less information.
✔️ Proxy finds 5 top-rated stays in 56 seconds with prices, ratings, and reviews.

5/
Task 4: Get the latest US economy news.

❌ Operator is slow and less informative.
✔️ Proxy provides a detailed, high-quality summary faster.

6/
What’s more, Proxy is ranked #1 globally via the WebVoyager benchmark which assesses agentic capabilities across 600 web based tasks.

.... and when it comes to cost, it’s not even a question.

→ Operator costs $200.
→ Proxy is Free, with a $20/month Pro option.

Check it out:

But wait… there’s more.

Proxy does stuff that Operator simply can’t.

→ Schedule automations to run on repeat - your own AI agent on autopilot. → Instantly share automations on X/Twitter so anyone can run them... with one click! 🤯

9/ Image
That’s a wrap!

Proxy beats Operator where it matters most: speed, autonomy, features, and cost.

Try it for free or go Pro for just $20/month.

If this was useful, a quick RT would go a long way in giving this London startup a voice and some more oomph against the industry giants! 💪

In case you missed it, 5 new AI agent guides dropped last week from Anthropic, OpenAI, McKinsey and Google.

Most are on point and practical, one raised eyebrows… but if you’re deep into agents and LLMs, they’re all worth a look.

I can’t believe @ahmedkhaleel04 built this in just 7 days in @cursor_ai... it's already over 100k users and almost 3K ⭐️ on @Github!

Europe is back in the AI race.

Last week, London-based @Convergence_ai_ turned heads by crushing @OpenAI’s Operator.

Today, they’re back with something even bigger: Proxy 1.0 - one of the most powerful web-based AI agents out there!



Let’s dive in! 🧵↓ proxy.convergence.ai
Quick reminder that funding isn’t everything.

@OpenAI raised $18 billion.

@Convergence_ai_? Just $12 million! That’s 0.067% of OpenAI’s budget.

And yet, Proxy is faster, smarter, fully autonomous.

I got to be part of the beta, where we pushed Proxy through 100K+ real-world tasks.

The main complaints we had:

❌ Slow load times
❌ Doesn’t fully complete open-ended tasks
❌ Failures when faced with website roadblocks

Proxy 1.0 tackles all of these issues head-on!
