top-author share 43% 6 mo

bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Bridges the last mile between text-only reasoning and embodied computer control.
  • Enables evaluation benchmarks for “computer-use” tasks like software installation or form-filling.
  • Provides an extensible SDK for both the agent logic and the host environment.

under the hood

  • MIT-licensed and actively maintained.
  • Supports containerized and VM-based environments for sandboxing.
  • Dual SDK design: Computer SDK for environment management, Agent SDK for task orchestration.
