Microsoft has announced a new small language model called Fara-7B, which can be used to perform agentic tasks directly on the user’s device. Termed as a Computer Use Agent (CUA) model, Fara-7B uses computer interfaces like the mouse and keyboard to achieve state-of-the-art performance, the company has claimed, that is on par with bigger agentic AI systems powered by much bigger large language models.

Because the data is stored locally on device, the latency is reduced and the privacy is improved, the company noted.
