Microsoft's new Fara-7B AI agent rivals GPT‑4o, running locally on a Windows PC. With an Orchestrator, WebSurfer, multi‑agent workflow and 145 k logged tasks, it handles long‑context prompts and even leverages Qwen2.5‑VL‑7B for vision. Curious how this open‑source‑friendly stack performs? Read the full benchmark.

This is a test post being made from #WebSurfer right now. Now it's time to add tabbed browsing!

...and out of almost nowhere (emphasis on "almost"), I am rewriting #WebSurfer to use #Qt Widgets instead.

I don't know Wt as good as wxWidgets to be honest, let alone QML, but I'll figure it out as we go along! 😄

I finally figured out borders in sizers along with icon buttons. This look a lot better now!

Note: the refresh button has a help icon now. This is temporarily until I can figure out if wxWidgets provides a refresh icon somewhere.

(Oh, and yes, the status bar is a dummy status bar. Maybe I'll get rid of it, I don't know).

A screenshot of an updated WebSurfer window, its title reading "Google - WebSurfer". Compared to the previous version, the top toolbar is much more organized. All widgets in the toolbar have plenty more padding. The go button and URL bar (reading "https://google.com") remain the same, but the back and forward buttons now appropriate icons. The refresh button temporarily has a help icon, but that's until I can figure out if there's a refresh icon in wxWidgets. The rest of window consists of the Google frontpage and the status bar, where the latter reads, "Welcome!" and doesn't work.
