Researcher Builds Alternate Computer Use Architecture
A 3rd year research student is building a new approach to computer use agents, addressing the limitations of existing models like OpenAI-CUA which lack reasoning and reliability. The proposed architecture uses multiple specialized models with distinct roles and responsibilities.
Why it matters
This research explores an innovative approach to computer use agents, which could lead to more reliable and cost-effective solutions for complex tasks.
Key Points
- 1Existing computer use models are end-to-end, designed for smaller tasks, and architecturally flawed with a single model handling all tasks
- 2The new approach uses an organization-based architecture with multiple models for specific tasks like CEO, manager, sales rep, etc.
- 3Early tests show the distributed architecture is reliable and cost-effective, with the ability to use smaller models like Amazon Nova 2 Lite without finetuning
Details
The researcher has identified several issues with existing computer use models, including lack of reasoning, reliability, and suitability for complex tasks. To address these, they have taken a backward integration approach and created an organization-based architecture where multiple specialized models with distinct roles and responsibilities handle different computer use tasks. This distributed approach aims to improve reliability and cost-effectiveness compared to the single-model, end-to-end designs of current solutions. The researcher has also found success in using smaller models like Amazon Nova 2 Lite for specific computer use tasks without the need for finetuning. The early tests of this new architecture have been promising, and the researcher is now seeking feedback from the community on whether to continue building, open-source the project, and start sharing videos.
