We introduce crowd-cast, a privacy-preserving desktop application that allows anyone to participate in crowd-sourcing an action-annotated long-horizon behaviour-cloning dataset of computer work. Install once, and forget about it. Franz Srambical* p(doom), TUM Mihir Mahajan* p(doom), TUM Alfred Nguyen* p(doom), TUM Stefan Bauer TUM Feb. 2, 2026 Install crowd-cast on macOS (Windows and Linux support are coming soon) While pretraining data acquisition has saturated and post-training overwhelmingly piggybacks on manual data labeling or handcrafted RL environments, the trillion-dollar question remains how we will get to the next set of model capabilities. A billion people are predominantly working on computers, generating hundreds of billions of hours of behaviour-cloning data every week, yet that data remains uncaptured and ultimately lost. Models can make sense of the predominantly garbage-filled internet, they can learn to produce long chains of thought from thousands of cold-start examp
