cua ("koo-ah") is Docker forComputer-Use Agents - it enables AI agents to control full operating systems in virtual containers and deploy them locally or to the cloud.

With the Computer SDK, you can:

• automate Windows, Linux, and macOS VMs with a consistent,pyautogui-like API
• create & manage VMslocally or usingcua cloud

With the Agent SDK, you can:

• run computer-use models with aconsistent schema
• benchmark on OSWorld-Verified, SheetBench-V2, and morewith a single line of code using HUD (Notebook)
• combine UI grounding models with any LLM usingcomposed agents
• use new UI agent models and UI grounding models from the Model Zoo below with just a model string (e.g.,ComputerAgent(model="openai/computer-use-preview"))
• use API or local inference by changing a prefix (e.g.,openai/,openrouter/,ollama/,huggingface-local/,mlx/,etc.)

• human/human →Human-in-the-Loop
