AI BriefingMicrosoft Unveils MagenticLite
Key point
Microsoft has unveiled MagenticLite, an agentic environment for small models, along with Fara-1.5.
Details
MagenticLite is an agentic experience that redesigns the existing Magentic-UI for small language models.
It combines the browser and the local file system into a single workflow, and is designed to let users keep control of the progress flow.
The core components are as follows.
- MagenticBrain: handles planning, coding, and delegation
- Fara-1.5-9B: handles browser use
Fara-1.5, released together with MagenticLite, comes in three sizes: 4B, 9B, and 27B. It is the successor to Fara-7B, which was released last November, and Fara-1.5 and MagenticBrain will soon be available on Microsoft Foundry.
