I was trying to find a comparison between Peekaboo (what openclaw uses for computer use) and cua (what Hermes uses). I didn't find anything useful on a quick google search, so I went to HN search and searched for 'peekaboo cua'.

The only thing I found was this 'Show HN' from 4 weeks ago, with zero comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49102017

The guy who wrote it claimed:

  I benchmarked Hunch against Peekaboo (OpenClaw's computer use) and Cua Drivers, and out of the 54 MacOS local tasks, Hunch completed 53 while costing $6.03. Peekaboo completed 41 tasks and used $31.03, and Cua Driver completed 31 tasks and used $37.42.
That makes me curious. But the repo only has 17 stars so I'm curious whether other folks on HN have tried it.

It sounds/looks good but I'd rather learn from someone else who has tried it, than run my own benchmarks.
