#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Benchmark the browser agent against HUMAN performance on rudimentary tasks, on two axes the user cares about: wall-clock time and number of turns/actions. Bar: agent must reach >= 90% of human, else "no good". Three honest reference points per task: 1. optimal_actuation_s - the raw browser commands with NO LLM (best case a perfect operator/script could do); measured floor. 2. human_s / human_actions - a person who knows the page. Estimated from standard HCI norms (documented below), NOT invented to flatter the agent. 3. agent_s / agent_turns - MEASURED from the live run (tasks.jsonl). Human model (Card/Moran/Newell KLM-ish, conservative for a familiar user): - perceive/orient to a simple page : 1.5 s - point + click a visible control : 1.0 s (Fitts, ~0.8-1.2s) - keystroke : 0.28 s/char (skilled ~40wpm) - read a short result line : 1.0 s A "human action" = one click or one field-fill (typing a field = 1 action).
