A new framework from researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and collaborating institutions provides an open source foundation for creating robust AI agents that can operate computers. The framework, called OpenCUA, includes the tools, data, and recipes for scaling the development of computer-use agents (CUAs).

Models trained using this framework perform strongly on CUA benchmarks, outperforming existing open source models and competing closely with closed agents from leading AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.
