Pine Computer Launches AI-Native Cloud Computer Claiming 2-5x Speed, 1/25th Model Cost

The Pine AI team launched Pine Computer, a cloud computer built for AI rather than humans: tasks arrive via API, and AI plans and works across browser, files, and shell, returning progress and results.
- Thesis: capable models keep spending their intelligence compensating for an environment built for someone else; the team analyzed millions of real execution traces before rebuilding the substrate
- Perception rethink: instead of repeatedly polling "what changed?", AI receives change notifications from the browser, apps, display, and OS — "epoll for AI perception"
- Claimed results: 2–5x faster, 1/25th the model cost; on SaaS-Bench v1.1, GPT-5.6 Luna scored 78.3% on checkpoints vs 74.3% for Opus 5 with Claude Code
