garrytan · x · 2026-09-30
Browser Use announced Ultrafast, a new cloud tier for its web agent that is 10x faster and 10x cheaper than the original — a flight-comparison task completes in under 20 seconds for about $0.0041.
It also introduced BU Fast, a smarter but 1x-speed tier for tasks needing more reasoning power. Due to limited compute, access is rolling out in batches, with DMs offered as a way to skip the line. YC president Garry Tan amplified the launch.
