Yutori, co-founded by former Meta chief scientist Dhruv Batra, shared cost data for its browser/computer-use agent model Navigator n2.
- Frontier models cost $13 to $40+ per task on OSWorld 2.0; Navigator n2 runs at just $1.46, nearly an order of magnitude cheaper
- A 14-person team with no in-house inference stack, served on Crusoe Managed Inference, reached production within a month of picking the provider
- Cost edge comes from Crusoe maximizing throughput ("every token costs less"), with per-node SLAs removing overnight on-call duty
- Navigator n2, partly trained on Crusoe Cloud, sees the screen like a human and performs actions — price watching, quote aggregation, CRM data entry
Takeaway: a specialized small model on high-throughput managed inference can make always-on agents economically viable.
