Fara1.5-4B

Released Jul 17, 2026 see all recent releases

Decision reading
Fara1.5-4B is tracked, but not publicly ranked yet. The profile exposes 1 sourced benchmark rows and leaves unsupported fields blank until a published record exists.

Data as of September 10, 2026 · How the score is built

Strongest published evidence

Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.

Validate before choosing

1 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. No comparable first-party API token rate is published.

Decision snapshot

Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

Category score record

Scores and ranks appear only where published evidence can be displayed. The table keeps the score, weight, cohort, and evidence state together.

Benchmark ledger

Agentic opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. A successor's displayed score stays at least 0.1 points above its predecessor; raw benchmark rows do not move. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

We track Fara1.5-4B, but the public leaderboard excludes this profile until enough non-generated benchmark coverage is available. Only published rows appear above.

Fara1.5-4B is a open weight model with a 262K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

The compact Fara 1.5 browser computer-use agent, fine-tuned from Qwen3.5-4B and published under MIT on Hugging Face alongside the 27B model, for the same Fara CLI and Magentic-Lite harnesses.

Official exact-value snapshot from the Fara 1.5 Hugging Face model cards. BenchLM maps WebVoyager (80.8) onto its existing lane; Online-Mind2Web (57.3) and WebTailBench (27.4) have no exact compatible lane. The row stays unranked.

Fara1.5-4B sits in the Fara 1.5 family with Fara1.5-27B. 1 of 434 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Frequently asked questions

How does Fara1.5-4B perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Fara1.5-4B has 1 source-displayable benchmark rows, but it does not qualify for a public overall rank. The available rows remain visible by category without being converted into a site-wide score. Missing evidence stays blank instead of being estimated from an earlier model.

Is Fara1.5-4B good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

Fara1.5-4B has source-displayable benchmark coverage for agentic tool use and computer tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Fara1.5-4B open source?

Fara1.5-4B is an open-weight model from Microsoft. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Which sibling models are related to Fara1.5-4B?

Fara1.5-4B belongs to the Fara 1.5 family. Related tracked variants include Fara1.5-27B. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.

Does Fara1.5-4B have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Fara1.5-4B currently has 1 source-displayable rows across 434 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Fara1.5-4B?

Fara1.5-4B has a documented context window of 262K. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
