Model ID: `computer-use-preview`

The computer-use-preview model is a specialized model for the computer use 
tool. It is trained to understand and execute computer tasks.
See the [computer use guide](/api/docs/guides/tools-computer-use) for more
information. This model is only usable in the 
[Responses API](/api/docs/api-reference/responses).

## Rate limits

Rate limits ensure fair and reliable access to the API by placing specific caps on requests, tokens, audio duration, or other usage within a given time period. Your usage tier determines how high these limits are set and automatically increases as you send more requests and spend more on the API.
