New 4B hybrid agent Mage-VL-Cowork achieves SOTA on OSWorld-Verified benchmark

Researchers have developed Mage-VL-Cowork, a 4B parameter hybrid computer-use agent (CUA) designed to seamlessly integrate visual GUI interaction with code and terminal execution. The training process involved a five-stage curriculum, utilizing Mage-CUA-Forge to synthesize over 293,000 desktop and web tasks across 6,915 skills, significantly reducing per-task expenditure. This approach led to Mage-VL-Cowork-4B achieving state-of-the-art performance for its parameter size on the OSWorld-Verified benchmark, demonstrating efficient reasoning and advancing on-device intelligence.
