Cua

Docker for computer-use agents

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 3% of May 2025

In plain words

Cua is an open-source framework that lets AI agents control full operating systems within lightweight virtual containers. It works similarly to Docker but is designed specifically for computer-use agents. The tool enables developers to run AI systems that can interact with complete operating environments in isolated, high-performance containers, making it useful for automation, testing, and AI agent deployment scenarios.

  • I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

    I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Needle2: 14MB agentic LLM for phones, wearables, smart home and robots▲537

    Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
