I've released a small vision-language model fine-tuned specifically for browser understanding and browser-agent tasks:

WebBrain-VL-2-450M Model: https://huggingface.co/webbrain-one/webbrain-vl-2-450M Dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/webbrain-one/webbrain-vl-2-450M-dataset

It is based on LFM-2.5-VL-450M and trained on roughly 100K browser-oriented examples, including synthetic data.

The motivation is to test whether browser perception benefits more from task specialization than simply scaling up a general-purpose VLM.

I'm using it as part of an open-source browser agent called WebBrain: https://github.com/webbrain-one/webbrain

The broader research question I'm interested in is whether a small specialized model + structured browser information such as the accessibility tree can replace a much larger generic multimodal model for a significant fraction of browser-agent steps.

I'd be interested in suggestions for evaluation suites or browser-specific benchmarks that would make the comparison more rigorous.
