How to run jev on OSWorld desktop tasks to compare results with Typesafe Computer Use

Set up OSWorld beside jev and run one desktop task to see how the agent performs on a benchmark.

Authorization notice. Typesafe Computer Use is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA researcher or engineer who wants to measure a computer-use agent on a standard set of real desktop tasks.

The problemClaims about cost and speed for computer-use agents are hard to check without running them on the same tasks.

The outcomeYou get a result for one OSWorld task run by jev, alongside OSWorld's own GPT agent on that task.

What you need first

  • A Mac running macOS 14 or newer
  • Python 3.12 or newer and uv
  • A TypeSafe API key for TYPESAFE_API_KEY
  • Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions granted to your terminal
  • Optional: an Anthropic API key for type_text, writer-proposed URLs, and the final answer

Steps

  1. Provision a Linux host with KVM, or follow docs/osworld.md for the one-command Google Cloud machine
  2. Run scripts/osworld setup to fetch OSWorld and install jev beside it
  3. Run scripts/osworld run-jev chrome/ --ocr rapidocr to run one task
  4. Read the result files the run produces and compare them with the GPT agent run on the same task

Prompt for your agent

In the typesafe-computer-use repo, run `scripts/osworld setup` and then `scripts/osworld run-jev chrome/  --ocr rapidocr` on a Linux host with KVM. Report the task result and any error from the setup. Verify that the run finished on the chrome/ task before comparing it to the GPT agent result.

Caveat. The README says the benchmark needs a Linux host with KVM, so it will not run on a Mac alone.
