A team at hugging face has related a freely available, cloud-hosted computer -USING Ai “Agent.” But be Forewarned: It’s Quite Sluggish and Occasionally Makes Mistakes.
Hugging face’s agent, called Open Computer AgentIs accessible via the web and can use a linux virtual machine preloaded with Several Applications, Including Firefox. Similar to Openai’s operatorYou can prompt open computer agent to complete a task – say, “Use google maps to find the hugging face hq in paris” Steps.
Open Computer Agent Can Handle Simple Requests Well Enough. But more complicated ones, like searching for flights, tripped it up in techcrunch’s testing. Open Computer Agent also often runs into captcha tests that it’s unable to solve.

Of course, the hugging face team’s goal wasn’t to build a state-of-the-to -art computer-asing agent. Rather, they wanted to demonstrate that open ai models is more capable – and cheaper to run on cloud infrastructure.

While it’s far from perfect, agentic technology is attraction investment as enterprises look to adopt it to boost Productivity. According to a recent kpmg survey65% of companies are experienceing with ai agents.
