In our (very) early testing at Hyperbrowser but we're seeing Haiku 4.5 do really well on computer use as well. Pretty cool that Haiku is like the cheapest computer use model from the big labs now.

+1 on this. Improving Gemini apps and live mode will go such a long way for them. Google actually has the best model line-up now but the apps and APIs hold them back so much.

Re:OpenAI adds MCP support to Agents SDK on Wednesday March 26, 2025 @05:02PM (#43487283)
MCP is now the standard everyone must conform to. Couldn't possibly have predicted that 2 months ago.
Super cool. Congrats on the launch!

Let me know if we can help with something at Hyperbrowser.

This looks really neat. Curious if you can say anything on how it's different from puzzle.io?
No, we don't enforce any robots.txt restrictions ourselves. We also don't do any scraping ourselves. We provide browser infrastructure that operates like any normal browser would - what users choose to do with it is up to them. We're building tools that give AI agents the same web access capabilities that humans have, don't think it's our place to impose any additional limitations.
Thanks!

And yeah MCP is super promising. We announced this on X and LinkedIn yesterday and the response has been really good. A lot of people with a bunch of use cases.

One surprising thing is there’s also a bunch of semi/non-technical people using our MCP server and the installation experience for them rn just absolutely sucks.

I think once auth and 1-click install are solved, MCP could become the standard way to integrate tools with LLMs

Thanks!

1) Yep, you just pay from browser time and proxy usage

2) We use a handful of proxy providers under the hood ourselves. There’s a lot of shady ones but we only work with ones where we’ve vetted the source of. Different providers source proxies in different ways - directly from ISPs, paying end sources for proxies etc

Show HN: Hyperbrowser MCP Server – Connect AI agents to the web through browsers

https://github.com/hyperbrowserai/mcp

Hi HN! Excited to share our MCP Server at Hyperbrowser - something we’ve been working on for a few days. We think it’s a pretty neat way to connect LLMs and IDEs like Cursor / Windsurf to the internet.Our MCP server exposes seven tools for data collection and browsing:1. `scrape_webpage` - Extract formatted (markdown, screenshot etc) content from any webpage2. `crawl_webpages` - Navigate...

Curious what people think about the CUA API pricing? Any thoughts on what use cases it may or may not work for (the pricing specifically)?
Re:New tools for building agents on Tuesday March 11, 2025 @09:15PM (#43338976)
ya i'm sure they'll get a bunch of usage despite that but don't know who would use it at any kind of scale with that pricing

otoh, they've dropped prices for everything else a ton previously so maybe they will for this as well

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Re:Google begins testing AI-only search results on Friday March 07, 2025 @05:27AM (#43288990)
Nice. What'd you think of it?
Re:Ask HN: Cursor vs. Windsurf? on Friday March 07, 2025 @04:51AM (#43288751)
I’m a happy Cursor user. Main reason is it just works great and was the first one I tried.

Ask HN: Cursor vs. Windsurf?

Do you use an AI IDE? Which one and why?There’s a bunch of them at this point and it’s kinda hard to figure out one over another. Cursor and Windsurf seem like the leading players - curious what people like about one vs the other.

Pretty excited for this but looks like the testing program is still behind a waitlist - even for Google One subscribers
Re:Mistral OCR on Friday March 07, 2025 @04:43AM (#43288700)
Anecdotally, we also found Gemini Flash to be better.
This is really neat guys - congrats!
Re:Launch HN: Browser Use (YC W25) – open-source web agents on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @01:33AM (#43181274)
Congrats on launching guys!

So many people building with / on top of browser-use now - spawned a whole cottage industry! :)

this is neat - congrats!
Re:Show HN: LLMpeg on Sunday January 19, 2025 @03:16PM (#42761324)
Neat! It'd be good to have a little more configurability but this is still really cool
Re:Show HN: I completed shipping my desktop app on Saturday January 04, 2025 @08:47PM (#42599060)
Looks super cool. Congrats and best of luck!
Curious if there's anything built with Eliza outside of crypto twitter agents

Cool project either way!

Pretty wide variety of use cases tbh - everything from classic scraping on the very simple side to integrating with 3P services that don’t offer APIs, agentic QA testing etc

The companies we’ve seen automatic agentic workflows well typically send a bunch of context to the LLM and somewhat constrain the actions that the model can take. Actually works better than you’d expect :)
