Runner H & the Open-Source Hollow 1

Hey AIpreneur,
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news from H Company: they’ve just launched Runner H, a state-of-the-art browser-use agent framework that’s now in public beta and free for you to try.
Even better, the core models powering Runner H—what they call the Hollow 1 family—are fully open source, and there’s a research paper detailing exactly how they achieved such impressive performance.

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news from H Company: they’ve just launched Runner H, a state-of-the-art browser-use agent framework that’s now in public beta and free for you to try. Even better, the core models powering Runner H—what they call the Hollow 1 family—are fully open source, and there’s a research paper detailing exactly how they achieved such impressive performance. Here’s what you need to know:
What Runner H Can Do for You
Hands-off Web Tasks
Just describe what you need in natural language—whether it’s scraping product listings, filling out forms, or compiling data—and Runner H will spin up an agent that actually drives a real browser to get it done. In my demo, I had it search eBay for Pokémon card listings, extract the top 10, and automatically populate a Google Sheet with the titles and links.Parallel Agents
You’re not limited to one task at a time: you can launch multiple agents in parallel, each running its own browser session. That means you can tackle several data-gathering or automation jobs simultaneously without breaking a sweat.Built-In Integrations
Runner H connects seamlessly to Google Sheets, Docs, Drive, Notion, Slack, Zapier, and more via simple OAuth. You can also supply custom API keys or authentication tokens, and soon you’ll even be able to have agents handle payments on your behalf.
Under the Hood: Surfer H + Hollow 1
H Company’s framework, Surfer H, consists of three core modules:
Policy – Plans each action in sequence (e.g., “go to URL → scroll → click”)
Localizer – Given a description of a button or link, pinpoints its exact screen coordinates
Validator – Checks whether the task result meets your goal and, if not, feeds back to retry
The Hollow 1 model family specializes in web navigation (deciding what to click or scroll) and UI localization (finding where to click). Both models are lightweight, efficient, and available on Hugging Face with open weights—so you can download them, fine-tune them, or build entirely new agents.
Performance & Cost
According to their Web Voyager benchmark tests, Runner H powered by Hollow 1 achieves a 92.2 % success rate—state-of-the-art—while costing only about $0.13 per task. By comparison:
Runner H + GPT-4 achieves 84.3 % at $0.71 per task
Runner H + a smaller 4.1-mini model hits 88 % at $0.26 per task
If you don’t need the absolute top accuracy, you can use the 3 B-parameter Hollow 1 variant to shave even more off your cost with only a minor drop in performance.
Fine-Tuning Your Level of Oversight
You choose how much human review to include—fully automated, moderately involved, or highly involved. And with the “Files” tab, you can revisit past runs, inspect logs, and re-run tasks with adjusted parameters.
Coming Soon: Tester H
On top of Runner H, H Company is rolling out Tester H (private beta), a plain-language QA tool for your own websites or apps. Define tests like “Given I’m on my signup page, click the orange ‘Submit’ button and verify the welcome message appears,” hit go, and Tester H will run end-to-end checks in a real browser.
I can’t wait for you to try Runner H and Hollow 1 in your own projects—whether you’re automating data collection, streamlining workflows, or building entirely new agent-driven apps. Head over to the links below, give it a spin, and let me know what creative workflows you build!
Happy automating,
To Your Success,
Andrew Darius
