+
+An experimental model trained for use with the [Responses API](../how-to/responses.md) computer use tool. It can be used in conjunction with 3rd-party libraries to allow the model to control mouse & keyboard input while getting context from screenshots of the current environment.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> We don't recommend using preview models in production. We will upgrade all deployments of preview models to either future preview versions or to the latest stable GA version. Models that are designated preview don't follow the standard Azure OpenAI model lifecycle.
+
+### Availability
+
+**For access to `computer-use-preview` registration is required, and access will be granted based on Microsoft's eligibility criteria**. Customers who have access to other limited access models will still need to request access for this model.
+
+Request access: [`computer-use-preview` limited access model application](https://aka.ms/oai/cuaaccess)
+
+Once access has been granted, you will need to create a deployment for the model.
