OpenCUA models (OpenCUA-7B and OpenCUA-32B) are end-to-end computer-use foundation models than can produce executable actions in the computer environments. They are based on the weights of Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruction and Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruction.
They demonstrate superior performance across CUA benchmarks. In particular, OpenCUA-32B achieves an average success rate of 34.8% on OSWorld-Verified,
establishing a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) among open-source models and surpassing OpenAI CUA (GPT-4o). Both models also have strong grounding performance, OpenCUA-32B achieves 59.6% on OSWorld-G and 55.3% on Screenspot-Pro.

🚀 Quick Start
⚠️ Important for Qwen-based Models (OpenCUA-7B, OpenCUA-32B):
To align with our training infrastructure, we have modified the model in two places:
1. Multimodal Rotary Position Embedding (M-RoPE) has been replaced with 1D RoPE.
2. Using the same Tokenizer and ChatTemplate as Kimi-VL.
Do not use the default transformers and vllm classes to load the model. Tokenizer and Chat Template should be aligned if training the models.
Installation & Download
First, install the required transformers dependencies:
cd ./model/inference/
python huggingface_inference.py
🖥️ Computer Use Agent
OpenCUAAgent is developed in the OSWorld environment based on OpenCUA models. It iteratively perceives the environment via screenshots, produces reflective long CoT as inner monologue, and predicts the next action to be executed. OpenCUAAgent uses 3 images in total and L2 CoT format in default.
Command for running OpenCUA-7B and OpenCUA-32B in OSWorld:
AgentNet is the first large-scale desktop computer-use agent trajectory dataset, containing 22.6K human-annotated computer-use tasks across Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu systems.
Our AgentNetTool is a cross-platform GUI recorder that runs unobtrusively on annotators’ machines. It captures synchronized screen video, mouse/keyboard events, and accessibility trees, then provides an in-browser UI for reviewing, trimming, and submitting demonstrations. AgentNet Tool is available on Windows, macOS and Ubuntu.
Raw demonstrations can contain thousands of low-level events that are too dense for model training.
The DataProcessor module (./data/data-process/) performs two key steps:
Action Reduction — merges granular signals into concise, semantically meaningful PyAutoGUI actions (e.g., collapsing mouse moves → click, coalescing scrolls, grouping key-press sequences into text or hotkeys).
State–Action Matching — aligns every reduced action with the last visually distinct framebefore the action begins, avoiding future-information leakage and yielding compact state–action pairs.
These processed trajectories underlie all downstream training and evaluation.
3 CoTGenerator – Synthesizing Reflective Long Chain-of-Thought Inner Monologue
To boost robustness and interpretability, we augment each trajectory with reflective long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning.
The CoTGenerator pipeline (./data/cot-generator/) synthesizes step-level reflections that:
reflect on the previous action,
explain why an action is chosen given the current observation and history,
note potential alternative actions, and
forecast the expected next state.
Empirically, models trained with these rich CoTs scale better with data and generalize across unseen applications.
Evaluation
AgentNetBench
AgentNetBench (./AgentNetBench/) provides a realistic offline evaluator for OS agent trajectories. It compares model-predicted low-level actions (click, moveTo, write, press, scroll, terminate, etc.) against ground-truth human actions and reports detailed metrics.
We are actively working with the vLLM team to add support for OpenCUA models.
Workaround: For now, please use the standard transformers library as shown in the examples above. We will update this section once vLLM support becomes available.
Training Code
OpenCUA models are developed based on the training infrastructure of Kimi Team. We are developting the training pipeline based on the open-source infrastructure as well.

Important Notes on Coordinate Systems
OpenCUA/OpenCUA-A3B – Relative coordinates (not supported in this code)
OpenCUA/OpenCUA-Qwen2-7B – Relative coordinates
OpenCUA/OpenCUA-7B – Absolute coordinates
OpenCUA/OpenCUA-32B – Absolute coordinates
OpenCUA models use different coordinate systems depending on the base model:
OpenCUA-Qwen2-7B: Outputs relative coordinates (0.0 to 1.0 range)
python
1# Example output: pyautogui.click(x=0.5, y=0.3)2# x=0.5 means 50% from left edge, y=0.3 means 30% from top edge34# Convert to absolute coordinates:5defqwen2_relative_to_absolute(rel_x, rel_y, original_width, original_height):6 abs_x =int(rel_x * original_width)7 abs_y =int(rel_y * original_height)8return abs_x, abs_y
OpenCUA-7B and OpenCUA-32B (Qwen2.5-based): Output absolute coordinates after smart resize
python
1# Example output: pyautogui.click(x=960, y=324) 2# These are coordinates on the smart-resized image, not the original image34# Convert to original image coordinates:5# Please refer to the smart_resize function in: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/67ddc82fbc7e52c6f42a395b4a6d278c55b77a39/src/transformers/models/qwen2_vl/image_processing_qwen2_vl.py#L556defqwen25_smart_resize_to_absolute(model_x, model_y, original_width, original_height):7# First, calculate the smart-resized dimensions8 resized_height, resized_width = smart_resize(original_height, original_width, factor =28, min_pixels =3136, max_pixels =12845056)910# Convert model output to relative coordinates on original image11 rel_x = model_x / resized_width
12 rel_y = model_y / resized_height
1314# Then convert to absolute coordinates on original image15 abs_x =int(rel_x * original_width)16 abs_y =int(rel_y * original_height)17return abs_x, abs_y
Understanding Smart Resize for Qwen2.5-based Models:
The Qwen2.5-VL models use a “smart resize” preprocessing that maintains aspect ratio while fitting within pixel constraints.
For coordinate conversion, you need the smart resize function from the
official Qwen2.5-VL implementation.
