About Browser Use
Browser Use opens BU Ultrafast to every US plan, free tier included
BU Ultrafast is now on every Browser Use Cloud plan in the US, including free, and its waitlist has closed. It is selected by setting model to bu-ultrafast on POST /api/v4/runs and takes no model parameters, while bu-fast runs the same agent with more reasoning per step. The entry gives no speed or price figures. It is the first feed entry since the August 23 consolidation release, which brought single-request V4 session opens, paged transcripts and a correction to BYOK cache-read billing.
