Andrew Ng introduces OpenCoworker, an open-source desktop AI agent harness
Andrew Ng and collaborators Rohit Prasad and Devika Verma have released OpenCoworker, a free open-source desktop agent built by extending the aisuite library to support agent harnesses. The tool allows users to connect frontier LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) or local models via Ollama to desktop tasks including file access, messaging, and workflow automation, with privacy as a design priority. Ng frames this as a response to data-retention concerns with commercial desktop agents, citing Anthropic's Fable release as a recent example of policy opacity. The post also provides a concise overview of the current desktop agent landscape and the shift toward LLM-driven agentic loops.
Anthropic launches Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5; Andrew Ng introduces OpenCoworker desktop agent
Anthropic released Claude Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5, two variants of the same frontier model that set new state-of-the-art results across software engineering, knowledge work, cybersecurity, and agentic coding benchmarks. Claude Fable 5 is the general-availability version with safety classifiers that restrict responses on security, biology, chemistry, and cutting-edge AI topics, priced at $10/$50 per million input/output tokens; Mythos 5 is restricted to selected partners via Project Glasswing. Separately, Andrew Ng and collaborators released OpenCoworker, a free open-source desktop agent harness built on top of aisuite, designed to give users privacy-preserving agentic workflows with their own API keys or local models. The newsletter also contextualizes the broader shift toward LLM-driven agent harnesses as frontier models have become capable enough to reliably drive next-action decisions.
