Fara-1.5: Scalable Learning Environments for Computer Use Agents

Collecting computer use data from human demonstrations is expensive and slow, motivating the need for scalable generation strategies. This requires two key ingredients: environments in which agents can act and verifiers that can judge whether their demonstrations succeeded. We introduce FaraGen1.5, a scalable data pipeline for computer use agents composed of three modular components: environments, solvers, and verifiers. FaraGen1.5 uses both live websites and synthetic environments that faithfully simulate domains gated by authentication or that require irreversible actions. It employs a solver harness that can be powered by multiple models, including strong frontier models such as GPT-5.4, and also incorporates a user simulator to enable multi-turn rollouts. Finally, FaraGen1.5 scores the resulting trajectories with three complementary verifiers covering task correctness, efficiency, and critical-point adherence. Using data produced by this pipeline, we train Fara1.5, a family of native computer use agents (CUAs) at three scales built on Qwen3.5 (4B, 9B, and 27B). To train these models, we employ a supervised finetuning (SFT) recipe that carefully balances data from FaraGen1.5 for broad coverage, specific high-value tasks, and target model deficiencies in an iterative approach. Each model sets a new state of the art for its size class on browser-use benchmarks: Fara1.5-9B reaches 63.4% on Online-Mind2Web and 86.6% on WebVoyager, while Fara1.5-27B achieves 72.3% on Online-Mind2Web, which is competitive with much larger proprietary systems.

WebGym: Scaling Training Environments for Visual Web Agents with Realistic Tasks

We present WebGym, the largest-to-date open-source environment for training realistic visual web agents. Real websites are non-stationary and diverse, making artificial or small-scale task sets insufficient for robust policy learning. WebGym contains nearly 300,000 tasks with rubric-based evaluations across diverse, real-world websites and difficulty levels. We train agents with a simple reinforcement learning (RL) recipe, which trains on the agent's own interaction traces (rollouts), using task rewards as feedback to guide learning. To enable scaling RL, we speed up sampling of trajectories in WebGym by developing a high-throughput asynchronous rollout system, designed specifically for web agents. Our system achieves a 4-5x rollout speedup compared to naive implementations. Second, we scale the task set breadth, depth, and size, which results in continued performance improvement. Fine-tuning a strong base vision-language model, Qwen-3-VL-8B-Instruct, on WebGym results in an improvement in success rate on an out-of-distribution test set from 26.2% to 42.9%, significantly outperforming agents based on proprietary models such as GPT-4o and GPT-5-Thinking that achieve 27.1% and 29.8%, respectively. This improvement is substantial because our test set consists only of tasks on websites never seen during training, unlike many other prior works on training visual web agents.

Aligning LLM Agents by Learning Latent Preference from User Edits

We study interactive learning of language agents based on user edits made to the agent's output. In a typical setting such as writing assistants, the user interacts with a language agent to generate a response given a context, and may optionally edit the agent response to personalize it based on their latent preference, in addition to improving the correctness. The edit feedback is naturally generated, making it a suitable candidate for improving the agent's alignment with the user's preference, and for reducing the cost of user edits over time. We propose a learning framework, PRELUDE that infers a description of the user's latent preference based on historic edit data and using it to define a prompt policy that drives future response generation. This avoids fine-tuning the agent, which is costly, challenging to scale with the number of users, and may even degrade its performance on other tasks. Furthermore, learning descriptive preference improves interpretability, allowing the user to view and modify the learned preference. However, user preference can be complex and vary based on context, making it challenging to learn. To address this, we propose a simple yet effective algorithm named CIPHER that leverages a large language model (LLM) to infer the user preference for a given context based on user edits. In the future, CIPHER retrieves inferred preferences from the k-closest contexts in the history, and forms an aggregate preference for response generation. We introduce two interactive environments -- summarization and email writing, for evaluation using a GPT-4 simulated user. We compare with algorithms that directly retrieve user edits but do not learn descriptive preference, and algorithms that learn context-agnostic preference. On both tasks, CIPHER achieves the lowest edit distance cost and learns preferences that show significant similarity to the ground truth preferences
