Why it matters
Computer-use agents burn far more tokens than API-driven agents: every screenshot, click, and re-render becomes model input, so the cost/latency tradeoffs discussed here decide if this pattern scales.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Screen-based agent loops multiply spend: each step re-sends a screenshot plus reasoning tokens versus one structured API call. Browser Use, Anthropic's computer-use team, and Kernel are setting the price/latency bar here.
