I wonder why computer use has taken a back seat. Seemed like it was a hot topic in 2024, but then sort of went obscure after CLI agents fully took over.

It would be interesting to see a company to try and train a computer use specific model, with an actually meaningful amount of compute directed at that. Seems like there's just been experiments built upon models trained for completely different stuff, instead of any of the companies that put out SotA models taking a real shot at it.
