Standard Intelligence Rides Neolab Fervor with Computer Use Model

Pedestrians in downtown San Francisco are used to seeing Waymos navigating the streets. But two months ago, people in the South Park neighborhood saw something new: a Toyota Rav4 driving around with a laptop propped on the dashboard. The laptop was running a new breed of AI model, known as a “computer use model,” from a two-year-old startup called Standard Intelligence. The “computer use model” can operate a computer to do a range of tasks from testing a banking website to deleting spam emails - and even steering a car, which other similar agents would struggle with.
