About 40 common tasks run as fixed code, while the on-device loop takes 7.3 seconds per step on a Mac M2 CPU.

The 7.3-second figure comes from a Mac M2 CPU with 4 threads. It measures one screen step, not a finished task.

The vendor's 36-screen test scores 27 correct. That leaves the model as a slow fallback for tasks the fixed-code path cannot cover.

The page does not show iPhone latency, task completion outside the 36-screen set, or the cost of a failed step. It also does not say whether the 1.05 GB language model and 445 MB encoder fit on lower-end phones.

Android uses accessibility services and screenshots to feed GUI-Owl 1.5 2B through llama.cpp. iPhones require a companion computer.

The 7.3-second step and 27/36 score make it a slow fallback for tasks fixed code cannot cover.
