Holo3 is a vision-language model built specifically for GUI agents — AI that can see and interact with web browsers, desktop apps, and mobile UIs. Developed by H Company, the 35B-A3B mixture-of-experts variant scores 78.85% on OSWorld-Verified, the most rigorous benchmark for autonomous computer use, edging out GPT-5.4 Thinking and Claude Opus 4.6 while reportedly costing 10x less to run. The model architecture separates GUI understanding from action planning using a sparse MoE design, enabling high accuracy with a much smaller active parameter footprint. It supports point-and-click, scroll, type, and multi-step workflows across all major OS environments. Weights for the 35B-A3B variant are released under Apache 2.0, while a free-tier API is available at hub.hcompany.ai. H Company is a Paris-based AI startup founded by former DeepMind researchers. Holo3 is their bet that purpose-built specialist models will outperform general-purpose frontier LLMs on narrow, high-value verticals — and the OSWorld leaderboard suggests they're winning that bet for now.

Offsite is a coordination platform designed for mixed human-and-AI-agent teams. Rather than picking one framework (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen) and building agent orchestration around it, Offsite provides an interface layer above those frameworks — you define a team that includes both human roles and agent roles, assign tasks, and watch the collaboration unfold in real-time from a unified view. The core insight driving Offsite is that most real-world workflows can't be fully automated: they require humans for judgment, approval, or creative input at specific steps. Offsite lets you model that hybrid reality explicitly, rather than treating human involvement as a bug to be routed around. Agents can hand off tasks to humans, humans can override agent decisions, and the whole thread is visible in a shared workspace. The platform also allows monitoring multiple concurrent team sessions, making it practical for teams running several parallel agent workflows at once. Offsite gained meaningful traction on Product Hunt's April 2026 monthly leaderboard, suggesting sustained community interest through the month rather than a single-day spike. Pricing has not been publicly disclosed. The product appears to be early-stage but with a clear product thesis and a team that has thought seriously about the agent-human collaboration problem.
Reviewer scorecard
“Topping OSWorld-Verified while being open-source and cheap to run is a genuinely rare combination. If you're building any kind of browser automation or desktop agent pipeline, this is the model to benchmark against first. The free API tier lowers the barrier to try it immediately.”
“The framework-agnostic approach is the right call — nobody wants to be locked into one orchestration layer when the space is evolving this fast. The explicit human-in-the-loop design is also realistic about where we actually are with agent reliability. Worth evaluating for any team running hybrid AI-human workflows.”
“OSWorld numbers are impressive, but benchmarks and real-world reliability are very different things. GUI agents still struggle with dynamic content, CAPTCHAs, login flows, and anything that deviates from the training distribution. H Company is a small startup — unclear if they can keep pace with OpenAI/Anthropic iteration cycles.”
“This category is extremely crowded — Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and a dozen YC startups are all building human-agent coordination layers. Without a clear technical moat or open-source codebase, Offsite's long-term viability depends entirely on execution and distribution. Pricing opacity makes it hard to even evaluate budget fit.”
“GUI agents are the missing layer for true software automation. A model that can reliably use any desktop app or web interface without APIs is transformative for enterprise workflow automation. The fact that a small European team is leading the OSWorld benchmark signals that vertical AI specialists are a real competitive force in 2026.”
“The future of knowledge work is collaborative human-agent teams, not agents that replace humans wholesale. Offsite is building the interface paradigm for that future — which is genuinely hard product design. The real-time shared workspace for hybrid teams could become a foundational pattern the way Slack became foundational for remote-first work.”
“As someone who constantly switches between design tools, browser previews, and CMS dashboards — a reliable GUI agent would be genuinely life-changing. Holo3's ability to handle multi-step UI workflows without brittle selectors or fragile Playwright scripts is what makes this interesting beyond the benchmark numbers.”
“For content teams using AI agents for research, drafting, or asset creation, Offsite-style coordination is exactly what's missing from current tools. Being able to review agent work in context and push back or approve without switching apps could genuinely change how creative teams integrate AI into their workflows.”
