- Does NorthCUA work in the EU?
- Available in the EU. Open weights are downloadable from Hugging Face under Apache-2.0, which contains no geographic restrictions, so they can be used in the EU/EEA. No hosted service or EU-specific terms were found. Last verified 14 Nov 2026.
- How much does NorthCUA cost?
- Open source. Weights free to download under Apache-2.0; self-hosting costs depend on hardware. Release date taken from the Hugging Face repo creation date for Pro. Licence: Apache-2.0.
- Where was NorthCUA shown?

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.
- Three sizes: Nano 9B dense, Mini 35B MoE (3B active), Pro 397B MoE (17B active)
- Takes screenshots, instructions and history; outputs reasoning and GUI tool calls
- Reported OSWorld-Verified success of 78.90 / 85.30 / 88.64% (Nano/Mini/Pro)
- Open weights under Apache-2.0, with an open-source NorthCUA Harness
- Normalized 0–1000 coordinate contract for GUI actions
