kev-0.6b-browser-use

A tiny 0.6B Jev-like model, fine-tuned from Kev-0.6B for browser use.

• Web version (WebGPU, 4-bit, 348 MB): arbazsiddiqui/kev-0.6b-browser-use-ONNX
• Code, eval and training: github.com/arbazsiddiqui/kev-browser-use
• Try it in your browser: arbazsiddiqui.me/kev-browser-use

Pick the next browser action with a 0.6B model. Give it a goal and the page's candidate elements; it returns which element to act on and whether to click, type or select, as probabilities. It never generates text.

32.2% step success on Mind2Web, the best of any open-weights model that runs in a browser, at 80 ms per decision.

1,000 steps from Mind2Web's test set, 10 candidate elements per step, same text and same candidates for every model. - Step success: the correct element and the correct action in the same step, the number that matters for an agent.

• Element accuracy: the model picked the correct UI element.
• Operation accuracy: it chose the correct action on that element (click, type or select).
• Brier (lower is better): how good the model's probabilities are, not just its top pick. It adds up the squared error over all 10 candidates, so it runs from 0 to 2 and hits 2 when the model is certain of a wrong element.

Use

In the browser

The 4-bit web build, kev-0.6b-browser-use-ONNX, runs on WebGPU with open-jev:

npm install open-jev @huggingface/transformers

import { OpenJev, choice } from "open-jev";

const kev = await OpenJev.load({ model: "arbazsiddiqui/kev-0.6b-browser-use-ONNX", dtype: "q4f16" });

const state = `Goal: Type "Alan Turing" into the search box
Candidate elements:
[0] <a> role=None "Main page"
[1] <input> role=searchbox "Search Wikipedia"
[2] <button> role=None "Search"`;

const { element, operation } = await kev.decide(state, {
  element: choice("Which element should be acted on?", [
    '[0] <a> "Main page"',
    '[1] <input> "Search Wikipedia"',
    '[2] <button> "Search"',
  ]),
  operation: choice("What operation should be performed on the target element?", ["CLICK", "TYPE", "SELECT"]),
});

element.choice;     // '[1] <input> "Search Wikipedia"', confidence 0.93
operation.choice;   // "TYPE", confidence 0.74

On a server

This checkpoint is a LoRA adapter plus a pointer head in Kev's format, served by Kev's server.

git clone https://github.com/jaredpalmer/kev.git && cd kev && uv sync --extra serve
uv run --extra serve python -m kev.serve --run arbazsiddiqui/kev-0.6b-browser-use --port 8009

Ask it about a page. Use this exact text shape, it is what the model was trained on:

curl -s localhost:8009/v1/systemone -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{
  "model": "kev-latest",
  "state": "Goal: Search Wikipedia for \"Alan Turing\"\nCandidate elements:\n[0] <a> role=None \"Main page\"\n[1] <input> role=searchbox \"Search Wikipedia\"\n[2] <button> role=None \"Search\"\n[3] <a> role=None \"Random article\"\n[4] <a> role=None \"Log in\"",
  "questions": {
    "element":   {"type": "choice", "instructions": "Which element should be acted on?",
                  "criteria": {"[0] <a> \"Main page\"": null, "[1] <input> \"Search Wikipedia\"": null,
                               "[2] <button> \"Search\"": null, "[3] <a> \"Random article\"": null,
                               "[4] <a> \"Log in\"": null}},
    "operation": {"type": "choice", "instructions": "What operation should be performed on the target element?",
                  "criteria": {"CLICK": null, "TYPE": null, "SELECT": null}}}}'

Real response (bf16, L4): element [1] <input> "Search Wikipedia" at 0.90, operation TYPE at 0.91.

State format: Goal: line, optional Previous actions: with the last two actions as - [tag] text -> OP, then Candidate elements: with one [i] <tag> role=R "visible text" line per candidate (text cut at 60 characters). Option labels are [i] <tag> "text".

Training

• Start: jaredpalmer/kev-0.6b (Qwen3-0.6B-Base, LoRA rank 16, pointer head).

• Recipe: Kev's trainer, 2 epochs, lr 2e-5, batch 8, bf16. 106,074 records seen, 13,260 steps, 4.3 hours on one NVIDIA L4.
