Original title: microsoft/Mage-VL-Cowork · Hugging Face
Microsoft's Mage Team released Mage-VL-Cowork, an open-source 4B vision-language policy that combines screenshot-grounded computer_use and persistent bash terminal execution in a single checkpoint, dynamically switching between GUI and CLI without an external orchestrator. It reaches 66.0% on OSWorld-Verified under a 50-step budget, the best among 4B models (87.5% on OS tasks, 62.7% on Multi-Application Workflows). Training uses a five-stage specialize-then-unify curriculum; the Mage-CUA-Forge workflow-first synthesis engine generates 293,806 tasks while cutting per-task generation cost by 82.6% ($0.906 → $0.158), and Online Hybrid RL adds +10.16 pp over Hybrid SFT while reducing model calls by 13.0% and output tokens by 25.4%. Upstream teacher-harness pruning lifts the GPT-5.4 teacher to…
The writeup provides the full training recipe, task-synthesis costs, and benchmarks, letting readers assess how a 4B hybrid-agent route compares with externally orchestrated designs.
