The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Scaling Agents for Computer Use
Current computer-using agents (CUAs) exhibit low reliability and high performance variance on long-horizon, complex digital tasks. To address this, we propose Behavior Best-of-N (bBoN), the first framework to integrate scalable agent architectures with behavioral narrative modeling: it generates diverse execution trajectories via multi-agent rollouts, employs behavior narratives for structured trajectory modeling and evaluation, and introduces a reinforcement learning–driven selection mechanism. bBoN significantly improves robustness and cross-platform generalization, achieving 69.9% task success rate on OSWorld—approaching human performance (72%)—and is validated on WindowsAgentArena and AndroidWorld, establishing new state-of-the-art results. Its core contribution lies in establishing a behavior-centric paradigm for scalable CUAs, providing an extensible technical pathway toward reliable, general-purpose computer-use automation.
