Install: uv add browser-use (or pip install browser-use). Three usage paths: fully hosted Cloud API, a CLI tool, and the open-source Python library.

import asyncio  
from browser_use import Agent, ChatOpenAI  
from dotenv import load_dotenv  
  
load_dotenv()  
  
async def main():  
    agent = Agent(  
        task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo",  
        llm=ChatOpenAI(model='gpt-5.6-luna')  
    )  
    history = await agent.run()  
    print(history.final_result())  
  
asyncio.run(main())  

• Models: Browser Use’s own optimised BU2, plus Claude, GPT, Gemini (and local via Ollama per earlier check).
• Custom tools: registered through a Tools decorator (replaces the 2024 Controller).
• Cloud browsers: stealth mode, CAPTCHA handling, residential proxies; real Chrome profile reuse.

Browser Use Cloud plans (browser-use.com/pricing, 2026-10-01)

Pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription, no expiry. Browsers are billed per hour plus traffic (residential proxy traffic costs more than direct); managed Browser Use Agents at model cost plus a 20% fee; 1-minute browser billing minimum; 10 concurrent sessions at start, scaling to 1,000 with lifetime spend; eligible new signups get free credit; enterprise custom (HIPAA). The page lists per-model token rates, which can differ from vendor list prices. Current prices: see the vendor pricing page https://browser-use.com/pricing

What changed since the Dec 2024 note

• The 2024 quick start (LangChain ChatOpenAI, Controller, BrowserConfig/BrowserContextConfig, claude-3-5-sonnet, gpt-4o, “any LangChain LLM”) is legacy and has been removed because the current API uses native browser_use chat classes and Tools. See the 2024 original in the review backup if needed.
• Repo moved org; stars grew to ~117k; hosted cloud and BU2 model added.
