H Company releases Holo4, a family of open-weight agentic computer-use models in 27B and 35B-A3B MoE sizes
Edited by Elliot Marsh, Editor · written with AI from the linked sources (how)
H Company (Hcompany) released Holo4, agentic models available in two sizes (27B dense, 35B-A3B MoE), built on Qwen base models, plus an updated Holotron4 Nano. Models are available via the H Models API and as downloadable weights (FP16, FP8, GGUF) with open-sourced trajectories on Hugging Face. The models can interact with software via GUI, code execution, MCP, and API calls within a single unified model.

What happened
H Company released Holo4, a family of open-weight "computer-use" agent models in two sizes (27B dense, 35B-A3B mixture-of-experts), built on top of Qwen base models, along with a smaller Holotron4 Nano variant. The models are downloadable in FP16, FP8 and GGUF formats and also available via H Company's API. Unusually, the company also open-sourced the step-by-step benchmark trajectories used to produce its performance claims, published at trajectories.hcompany.ai.
Why it matters
This gives developers and enterprises a self-hostable model that can drive software through GUI clicks, code execution, MCP and API calls without switching between separate specialised models, which removes real integration work. The bigger deal is the released trajectories: this is one of the few vendor benchmark claims that can actually be checked step by step rather than taken on faith. Impact is real but bounded, this is a cost and self-hosting play for teams building computer-use agents, not a capability leap that changes what's possible.
What is noise
"Competitive with the frontier" oversells a roughly 20-point gap (61.7% vs 81.8% for Opus 5.5 on OSWorld 2.0), and the cost-performance charts use H's own harness and pricing with the frontier comparison line seemingly drawn to flatter Holo4. The weaker 35B-A3B model's 30.9% OSWorld score is easy to miss in the framing. This is also an incremental update on Holo3 riding Qwen's base model improvements, not a new capability class.
