The most useful benchmark for computer-use AI now is rescue rate. If a tool keeps needing a human to save it from the same messy desktop task, that's not autonomy. That's a very fast intern with admin access.

- I don't want a computer-use agent that can order a coffee. I want one that can survive an expense report, a weird dropdown, and a login timeout without asking me to rescue it every 90 seconds.
- I think open models finally found their lane. Not 'better than Claude' lane. The boring-work lane. If Gemma 4 is good enough for tagging, extraction, and first-pass drafts, that's where the premium-model tax starts looking stupid.
- Most people are still paying premium-model tax on low-stakes work. The smarter stack in 2026 is routing: cheap models for throughput, expensive ones for judgment. I put my keep/cancel list in a free guide. Link in bio.
- Your AI coding stack is probably broken if you need 3 paid tools before lunch. The boring setup wins: 1 default, 1 escape hatch, 1 subscription you cancel.
