Cua + Scale AI Launch Cua Driver Bench: Background Desktop Agents vs Undisturbed Users; Vendor macOS Full-Pass ~58% for cua-driver
On 2026-11-06, Cua (@trycua) and Scale AI AgentEnv launched Cua Driver Bench (Bench v2): same Claude Sonnet 5.5, tasks, and limits with only the computer-use driver swapped, scoring task done, GUI-only, and eight undisturbed-user criteria. Scale macOS background full-pass: cua-driver ~58% (23/40), agent-desktop ~20%, browser-use ~3%; Cua-run Codex Computer Use ~33%. Tasks and trajectories are public to rerun.
Key Takeaways
- Source: Cua official blog + @trycua thread on 2026-11-06; Scale ran macOS/Linux; Cua ran Windows and some controls
- Method: 10 Bench v2 tasks; background keeps a simulated user typing; full pass = done + GUI-only + 8 undisturbed criteria
- macOS background full-pass (Scale, vendor): cua-driver 58%, agent-desktop 20%, browser-use 3%; Codex CU (Cua-run) 33%
- Foreground (Scale): cua-driver ~78%, agent-desktop 70%, browser-use 64%; gaps are mostly disturbance
- Rerun: GitHub blog/libs/cua-driver-bench; HF Space/dataset earakely-scale/CuaDriverBench-AgentEnv
