Thanks everyone for trying out NeuralOS, and apologies for the frustrating user experience!

I coded up the demo myself and didn't anticipate how disruptive the intermittent warning messages about waiting users would become. The demo is quite resource-intensive: each session currently requires its own H100 GPU, and I'm already using a dispatcher-worker setup with 8 parallel workers. Unfortunately, demand exceeded my setup, causing significant lag and I had to limit sessions to 60 more seconds when others are waiting. Additionally, the underlying diffusion model itself is slow to run, resulting in a frame rate typically below 2 fps, further compounded by network bottlenecks.

As for model capabilities, NeuralOS is indeed quite limited at this point (as acknowledged in my paper abstract). That's why the demo interactions shown in my tweet were minimal (opening Firefox, typing a URL).

Overall, this is meant as a proof-of-concept demonstrating the potential of generative, neural-network-powered GUIs. It's fully open-source, and I hope others can help improve it going forward!

Thanks again for the honest feedback.

Maybe put the warning below the UI, so it doesn't cause the layout to change?

Good idea. I'll update when no one is using it, don't want to cause further interruptions...
