MagenticLite is here: A full-stack agentic experience powered by Small Models (Fara 1.5 and MagenticBrain)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if you could run a capable AI agent without leaning on frontier-scale models? MagenticLite is the next generation of Magentic-UI, an agentic experience reimagined and optimized for small language models. It works across both your browser and your local file system in a single workflow, keeping you in the driver’s seat at every step. In this session, we’ll demo MagenticLite in action and deep dive into the two models powering it: MagenticBrain for planning, coding, and delegation, and Fara-1.5-9B for browser use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
