MyPCBench: A Benchmark for Personally Intelligent Computer-Use Agents

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

MyPCBench evaluates computer-use agents as personal assistants in a simulated Linux desktop environment with real-world web applications, revealing that Claude Opus 4.6 achieves the highest task completion rate of 55.4% while struggling with multi-application tasks and long trajectories.

Current benchmarks for computer-use agents evaluate models in impersonal environments. This leaves a gap between evaluation and deployment where personal assistants are expected to work across a user's whole digital life, including their context, historical data, and logged-in accounts. This gap is widest on web tasks, where live web evaluations cannot exercise sites that require logging in or personal information, the kind of site a real personal assistant has to drive. We introduce MyPCBench, which tests computer-use agents as personal assistants on a Linux desktop populated with 17 simulated real-world web applications and a full desktop stack, all seeded for one canonical persona, Michael Scott from The Office. We define 184 tasks in this environment, each inspired by a real request drawn from the OpenClaw community, and benchmark six closed and open-weight models with a uniform computer+bash tool surface. We find that the best model, Claude Opus 4.6, fully solves 55.4\% of the tasks, the only model above 50\%. Model failures cluster on tasks that span many applications and on long trajectories, where personalization stresses an assistant the most. We release the environment, task set, and agent harness at https://mypcbench.com.

WorkBench Revisited: Workplace Agents Two Years On

arXiv cs.CL

This paper revisits the WorkBench benchmark for workplace agents two years after its initial release, showing that the best agent (Claude Opus 4.8) now completes 89% of tasks with only 2.5% harmful side effects, compared to GPT-4's 43% completion and 26% harm rate in 2024. It finds that capability and safety improve together, open-weight models have drastically lowered costs, and some basic mistakes persist.

PPT-Eval: A Benchmark for Computer-Use Agents on PowerPoint Tasks

arXiv cs.LG

Introduces PPT-Eval, a benchmark of 120 PowerPoint tasks for evaluating computer-use agents, with a rubric-based scoring system that awards partial credit. Strong frontier agents like Claude-4.5-Opus achieve only 45% success rate, highlighting the difficulty of such tasks.
