Yutori Launches Navigator n2, a 27B Computer-Use Model Claiming Frontier Performance
On August 26, startup Yutori released Navigator n2, a computer-use model with only 27B parameters that claims frontier-level results rivaling top labs' flagships at a fraction of the cost, making large-scale computer use economically viable for the first time.
Confirmed
- n2 has 27B parameters and scores 65.2% on OSWorld 2.0, which Yutori calls computer-use SOTA
- Unlike its browser-automation-only predecessor, n2 operates full desktop environments, reliably alternating between desktop apps, browsers, CLI and code snippets end-to-end
- Its core philosophy is that the model should "use the computer like a computer," flexibly switching between GUI, CLI, tools or code rather than imitating humans
- Training itself is framed as a computer-use task carried out agentially, per reposted official notes
- Compute is provided by Together Computing; users can try it via Playground
- The model targets driving agentic knowledge workflows at scale
Why it matters
- At 27B parameters, far smaller than typical flagships, it could drastically lower the cost of computer-use capability for smaller teams
- Expanding from browser automation to full desktop control including CLI and code broadens the scope for agents in office automation and agentic workflows
