Computer Use
Full operating-system environments (virtual desktops, native applications, file systems) where agents learn to control a computer the way a person does: clicking, typing, and orchestrating real software. These environments power the computer-use capabilities of frontier models and demand heavy infrastructure for snapshotting, determinism, and reward verification.
