UiPath’s Screen Agent, powered by Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5, achieved the No. 1 ranking on the OSWorld‑Verified benchmark for agentic automation, a result announced on January 14 2026. The benchmark evaluated 369 tasks that span web and desktop applications, operating systems, and file‑I/O, and the ranking confirms the agent’s effectiveness against both general‑purpose and specialized models.
The OSWorld‑Verified benchmark is designed to test AI agents in real computer environments, providing a realistic assessment of their capabilities. By outperforming all competitors across 369 diverse tasks, UiPath’s Screen Agent demonstrates a superior mix of reasoning, coding, and long‑horizon task management that is central to the company’s agentic AI strategy. The No. 1 position positions UiPath as a leader in autonomous UI automation and validates the company’s focus on integrating AI agents, robots, and people on a single platform.
"Benchmarks are a critical way to validate specific use cases and critical workflows," said Mircea Neagovici‑Negoescu, Senior Vice President of AI and Research at UiPath. The achievement is expected to strengthen customer confidence and accelerate adoption of agentic solutions across enterprise workflows. Noble Keyser of SimpleTire added that the Screen Agent’s performance “will improve automation scaling and reduce maintenance,” underscoring the practical value for existing customers.
In September 2025, UiPath’s Screen Agent powered by OpenAI’s GPT‑5 had secured the No. 2 spot on the same benchmark. The jump to first place illustrates the company’s rapid progress and the effectiveness of its investment in Claude Opus 4.5. While the benchmark does not list all competing models, the ranking indicates that UiPath’s agent outperforms both general‑purpose models and specialized competitors in a broad set of real‑world tasks.
The announcement came amid insider selling by CEO, a headwind that has drawn attention from investors. However, the benchmark result has renewed focus on UiPath’s AI capabilities, suggesting that the market is weighing the long‑term strategic benefits of the company’s agentic automation platform.
Overall, the No. 1 ranking signals UiPath’s continued leadership in agentic automation and could drive future sales, reinforcing its market position in a rapidly evolving landscape.
