Libraries

How to use WootzappLab/fara-9b-baseline-eval with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="WootzappLab/fara-9b-baseline-eval")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("WootzappLab/fara-9b-baseline-eval")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("WootzappLab/fara-9b-baseline-eval", device_map="auto")

            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,

Fara 1.5-9B W8 baseline evaluation

This repository preserves the exact Fara 1.5-9B checkpoint used for both W8 DOM browser-agent baseline evaluations. The checkpoint was not trained or fine-tuned for either evaluation. Its files are an exact mirror of the pinned Microsoft checkpoint.

Common checkpoint and serving setup

Component	Value
Base checkpoint	`microsoft/Fara1.5-9B`

Model dtype	BF16
KV-cache dtype	BF16 through vLLM `auto`
Maximum model length	32,768 tokens
Tensor parallel size	1
Runtime	vLLM 0.19.1, PyTorch 2.10.0, Transformers 5.6.2
Hardware	One NVIDIA H100 80 GB HBM3
GCP instance	`w8-fara-9b-8115f370-head-3ibtw2ah-compute`

The DOM serving integration translated the recorder's OpenAI Responses contract to the Fara inference endpoint. It did not modify the model weights.
