    Pine previews a cloud computer built for AI agents

    Pine AI introduced Pine Computer, a cloud environment that takes an API task and lets an agent work across a browser, files and shell while an app follows progress. It remains a private beta with a waitlist; general access, bringing your own model and pricing are not established. Pine says its own benchmark found more intermediate task progress at lower model-token cost, but its system completed fewer whole tasks than two named comparison systems. Pine Computer is the environment; GPT-5.6 Luna is made by OpenAI, not Pine.
