Summary

Dhruv Batra, co-founder and chief scientist of Yutori and former head of embodied AI at Meta's FAIR lab, argues that most of the web will never expose APIs for AI agents. He explains why Yutori trains specialized browser agents to perceive pixels and click buttons the way people do, and why they run faster and cheaper than frontier models. Chain of Thought is hosted by Conor Bronsdon.
