+    Fara1.5-9B is Microsoft's 9B-parameter multimodal computer-use agent for web browsers, fine-tuned from Qwen3.5-9B. It accepts screenshots and text, emits structured browser actions, supports a 262K-token context, and should be deployed with appropriate sandboxing and user-confirmation controls. This entry uses the recommended Q4_K_M GGUF quantization.
