About this model

CUA in the API does not operate computers or browsers. Applications send to CUA screenshots of a computer along with instructions, and the CUA model responds with the actions for the application to take, such as navigating and clicking the pointer, and entering text.

Key model capabilities

Core capabilities
  • Model Qualities: While CUA is still early and has limitations, it sets new state-of-the-art benchmark results, achieving a 38.1% success rate on OSWorld for full computer use tasks, and 58.1% on WebArena and 87% on WebVoyager for web-based tasks. These results highlight CUA's ability to navigate and operate across diverse environments using a single general action space.
  • Safety: CUA has been extensively tested for safety, and implements safeguards across several dimensions. CUA refuses many harmful tasks and illegal or regulated activities, is trained to ask users for confirmation before finalizing tasks with external side effects, and is designed to identify and ignore prompt injections on websites.

Use cases

Key use cases

The provider has not supplied this information.

Out of scope use cases

CUA cannot reliably ensure human-in-the-loop intervention. Developers will need to be systematically aware of, and defend against, situations where the model can be fooled into executing commands that are harmful to the user or the system, such as downloading malware, leaking credentials, or issuing fraudulent financial transactions. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that screenshot inputs are untrusted by nature and may include malicious instructions aimed at the model.

Safety techniques

Safety is built into our models from the beginning, and reinforced at every step of our development process. In pre-training, we filter out information that we do not want our models to learn from or output, such as hate speech, adult content, sites that primarily aggregate personal information, and spam. In post-training, we align the model's behavior to our policies using techniques such as reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to improve the accuracy and reliability of the models' responses. computer-use-preview or CUA implements additional safeguards across several dimensions. CUA refuses many harmful tasks and illegal or regulated activities, is trained to ask users for confirmation before finalizing tasks with external side effects, and is designed to identify and ignore prompt injections on websites. Details on CUA model are covered in the Operator System card. Prompts and completions are passed through a default configuration of Azure AI Content Safety classification models to detect and prevent the output of harmful content. Learn more about Azure AI Content Safety . Additional classification models and configuration options are available when you deploy an Azure OpenAI model in production; learn more .

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that screenshot inputs are untrusted by nature and may include malicious instructions aimed at the model. We'll continue to monitor how computer-use-preview is being used and improve the model's safety as we identify new risks.
