Vals AI launches CUA-Bench to test real-time computer use

Vals AI launched CUA-Bench, a benchmark measuring how well AI models can operate a keyboard and mouse in real time across six games, three of which are kept private so models can't be trained on the exact test set. Vals AI frames the benchmark around a specific gap: computer use and games are tasks humans find easy but that current models still struggle with, and the company says saturating CUA-Bench will require models that output real-time actions and learn continuously from video, rather than models built primarily around processing text.
