OSWorld is the gold standard benchmark for evaluating autonomous computer use agents. It tests whether an AI can complete real tasks on a real desktop environment — not toy examples, but actual workflows that humans perform every day. Coasty scored 82%, the highest of any system tested.

What OSWorld Tests

  • File management across multiple applications
  • Web browsing and information extraction
  • Multi-step workflows spanning browser, terminal, and desktop apps
  • Form filling with complex validation
  • Data manipulation in spreadsheets and documents
  • System configuration and settings changes

82% means Coasty can complete 4 out of 5 real-world computer tasks autonomously, without human intervention.

Why This Matters

Benchmarks are only useful if they reflect real-world performance. OSWorld was designed specifically to test the kind of tasks knowledge workers do every day. Scoring 82% means Coasty is not just good at contrived tests — it is genuinely capable of replacing repetitive computer work.

The OSWorld benchmark proves that autonomous computer use has crossed the threshold from research curiosity to practical utility. At 82%, the question is no longer whether AI can do the work. It is which work you want to delegate first.
