Hugging Face has launched a freely accessible web-based AI agent known as Open Computer Agent, designed to complete tasks using a Linux virtual machine. Although functional, the agent is somewhat sluggish and prone to errors, particularly with complex requests like flight searches. Users must also wait in a virtual queue to access the service. The primary goal was to showcase the potential of open AI models in performing complex tasks and operating on cloud platforms, indicating a trend towards improved capabilities in AI technology on accessible infrastructures.
The goal of Hugging Face's Open Computer Agent was not to create a perfect AI assistant, but to show that open AI models are evolving and becoming cheaper to operate.
During testing, the Open Computer Agent excelled at simple tasks like using Google Maps but struggled with complex requests and was frequently stumped by CAPTCHA tests.
