Computer Use Is the New Chat: Why the Interface Changed Everything For two years, we measured AI progress by how well models answered questions. Then Hugging Face released Holo3, and the benchmark changed. The new frontier isn't what the model knows - it's what it can touch. What Changed Chat interfaces gave us a simple contract: you ask, the model responds. The model couldn't verify your question was answerable. It couldn't check if its response helped. It couldn't try a different approach if the first one failed. Computer use agents flip this contract.
