Design

The details of the design are laid out in this article: How I taught an AI to use a computer

LLM support

Open Computer Use is designed to easily support new LLMs. The LLM and provider combinations are are defined in models.py. Following the comments in this file, one can easily add any LLM and provider that adheres to the OpenAI API specification.

The list of tested models and providers currently includes:

Type	Model	Providers
Vision	Llama 3.2	Fireworks, OpenRouter, Llama API
Vision	Gemini 2.0 Flash	Google
Action	Llama 3.3	Fireworks, Llama API
Action	DeepSeek	DeepSeek
Action	Gemini 2.0 Flash	Google
Grounding	OS-Atlas	HuggingFace Spaces
Grounding	ShowUI	HuggingFace Spaces

The following lines of code in models.py define the default LLMs and providers:

grounding_model = OSAtlasProvider()
vision_model = FireworksProvider("llama3.2")
action_model = FireworksProvider("llama3.3")

If you add a new model or provider, please make a PR to this repository!
