Summary

English summary not available.

Key Takeaways

Three-layer arch (orchestrator+executor+harness) + FaraEnvs synthetic clones + GPT-5.4 distillation to small models validates 'large-gen small-deploy' path. 9B beating closed-source proves Agent capability hinges on tool orchestration not parameter count

Why It Matters

Open-weight small models outperform OpenAI/Google closed-source systems on core browser Agent benchmark; browser Agents are a new Agent type invisible to EDR, not covered by current security architecture

PRO Decision

Assess browser Agent bypass risk against EDR/DLP; include browser Agents in Agent identity platform discovery scope
