Pine Computer launches an AI-native cloud computer claiming 1/25 model cost and 2-5x speedup

Pine Computer launched a cloud computer built for AI: tasks come in via an API, and the agent plans and works across browser, files, and shell.
The core thesis: capable models spend their intelligence compensating for a computer designed for humans. After analyzing millions of execution traces from Pine AI, the team rebuilt environment perception — instead of repeatedly asking "what changed?", the AI receives change notifications from the browser, apps, rendered display, and OS, described as "epoll for AI perception": changes trigger attention.
Reported numbers: 2-5x faster overall, model cost cut to 1/25; on SaaS-Bench v1.1, GPT-5.6 Luna on Pine Computer scored 78.3% on checkpoints vs 74.3% for Opus 5 with Claude Code (full-task completion measured separately).
