Microsoft Just Dropped FARA and It Puts Pressure on OpenAI

Video Description

Microsoft just dropped FARA-7B and it pushes AI agents into a completely new lane. At the same time, MBZUAI released PAN, a world model that remembers past steps, updates a persistent internal state, and rolls out long simulations that feel continuous instead of reset clips. It uses Qwen2.5-VL for reasoning, a Wan2.1 video decoder, and a chunk-based causal refinement loop that keeps objects stable over long horizons. 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: [email protected] ✉ General Inquiries: [email protected] 🧠 What You’ll See: • How Microsoft FARA-7B runs full computer-use tasks locally with tiny token cost • How MBZUAI’s PAN world model keeps one persistent universe across long action chains • How Google Gemini’s new interactive images turn static diagrams into tappable study tools • How Perplexity’s new shopping assistant remembers your habits and steers real purchases • How Alibaba’s Quark S1 and G1 AI glasses push Qwen into everyday wearable life 🚨 Why It Matters: AI agents and world models are entering a new phase. FARA-7B and PAN show how fast lightweight, efficient, open research models are catching up to — and sometimes beating — massive proprietary systems built for cloud-level compute. ───────── Sources ───────── Microsoft FARA-7B (computer-use model) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Fara-7B-An-Efficient-Agentic-Model-for-Computer-Use.pdf MBZUAI PAN (world-model with persistent state) https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.09057 Google Gemini Interactive Images https://www.androidauthority.com/gemini-interactive-images-3618646/ Perplexity AI Shopping Assistant https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/shopping-that-puts-you-first Alibaba Quark AI Glasses (S1 / G1 launch) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/alibaba-releases-ai-glasses-rare-075710034.html #ai #microsoft #fara7b
