Fara1.5 is a family of open-weight computer use agent (CUA) models from Microsoft Research, released at 4B, 9B, and 27B scales and built on Qwen3.5. The repository includes model weights, an evaluation harness with benchmarks like WebTailBench and CUAVerifierBench, and a Universal Verifier for judging agent trajectories.
Use cases
- automate browser tasks with an AI agent
- run a computer use agent model locally
- evaluate web agent performance on benchmarks
- score agent trajectories with a verifier judge
- download open-weight CUA models from Hugging Face
- benchmark web automation agents on Online-Mind2Web
When to choose
- you need an open-weight model that can control a browser or computer to complete tasks
- you want state-of-the-art small-model web agent performance with reproducible evaluation tooling
- you are researching computer use agents and need benchmark datasets and verifiers
When to avoid
- you need a simple RPA tool without GPU hardware or ML infrastructure
- you want a hosted no-code automation product rather than models and evaluation code
- your use case is desktop-only GUI automation outside web browsing
