Navigator n2 released: A 27B frontier computer-use model
DhruvBatra_ · x · 2026-08-27
Navigator n2 is officially released, a frontier-level computer-use model with only 27B parameters. Its core philosophy is that models should use computers like computers (GUI/CLI/code), not like humans. The training loop itself is a computer-use task: using agents to explore apps, create tasks, find reward hacks, and identify failure cases, creating a recursive loop where better models generate better data. The model achieved 65.2% on the OSW benchmark.
