c/ua: A Lightweight Framework for AI Agents to Control Full Operating Systems
2025-04-23
c/ua (pronounced "koo-ah") is a lightweight framework enabling AI agents to control full operating systems within high-performance, lightweight virtual containers. Achieving up to 97% native speed on Apple Silicon, it works with any vision language model. It integrates high-performance virtualization (creating and running macOS/Linux VMs on Apple Silicon with near-native performance using Lume CLI and Apple's Virtualization.Framework) and a computer-use interface & agent, allowing AI systems to observe and control virtual environments, browsing the web, writing code, and performing complex workflows. It ensures security, isolation, high performance, flexibility, and reproducibility, with support for various LLM providers.
