About

NorthCUA is a family of computer-use models from Beipo AI, released in three sizes: Nano (9B dense), Mini (35B total, 3B active MoE) and Pro (397B total, 17B active MoE). The models are built on Qwen3.5 and take user requests, screenshots and interaction history, then produce reasoning, responses and tool calls for a desktop or browser runtime.

The model card states that the models must be run with the official NorthCUA Harness, which handles prompts, tool calls, observations and action execution. GUI action coordinates use a 0–1000 normalized space rather than raw pixels, and the harness converts them to pixels at execution time.

Results reported in the technical report (not new measurements of the released files, according to the card) give OSWorld-Verified success of 78.90% (Nano), 85.30% (Mini) and 88.64% (Pro), and WebArena-Verified of 67.16%, 70.43% and about 73.9%. Grounding scores for Pro include 93.30% on ScreenSpot-Pro and 90.96% on OSWorld-G. A separate OSWorld 2.0 figure of 66.80% mean partial credit for Pro is not a full-completion rate. Weights are on Hugging Face under Apache-2.0; the full 397B Pro model needs substantial memory despite the 17B active parameters.

Key features
