Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
GA, well-documented, priced at $5/$25 per Mtok, strong agentic/vision capability and token efficiency — but ~66% computer-use success and newer successors mean it needs guardrails and may warrant an upgrade for high-stakes automation.
Next
Use for vision-grounded agentic and computer-use flows behind human-in-the-loop confirmation on irreversible actions; evaluate upgrade to Opus 4.6/4.8 where OSWorld reliability is load-bearing.
