GUI-CC: Benchmarking Contextual Consistency of GUI World Models as Agent Environments

GUI-CC is a benchmark designed to assess the contextual consistency of GUI world models when used as agent environments, rather than just one‑step next‑screen predictors. It includes two tracks: an offline reference‑action track that rolls models along real mobile GUI trajectories, and an online agent‑loop track where fixed probing agents interact with model‑generated UIs. The benchmark evaluates transition fidelity, plausibility, contextual consistency, and task progress across 500 offline trajectory tasks and 200 online tasks spanning 30 mobile apps.

ComponentBench: Diagnosing Component-Level Failures in Computer-Use Agents

ComponentBench is a new benchmark that evaluates computer‑use agents at the component level on modern web UIs. It contains 97 canonical UI components and 2,910 programmatically verified tasks, along with cleaned human reference trajectories for measuring task success and interaction efficiency. The benchmark also offers a scalable pipeline for auditing structural difficulty and synthesizing failure analyses across tasks and component families.

VABench: Measuring Embodied Spatial Intelligence through Visual Demonstrations, Active Perception, and Metric Control

VABench is a benchmark that tests general‑purpose multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on embodied spatial intelligence by requiring them to observe, reason, act, and revise based on visual demonstrations and active perception. The benchmark includes 14 task families, a fixed model‑agnostic controller, and evaluates models on target localization, spatial relations, and long‑horizon composition tracks without providing privileged object poses or learned action heads. Results show that while the best model achieves perfect target localization, overall task success remains modest, and active camera control and geometric transfer significantly influence performance.

Beyond Appearance Shifts: Task-Semantic Action Calibration for VLA Models

The paper introduces BAS‑VLA, a task‑semantic action calibration framework for vision‑language‑action models that addresses two failure modes: unnecessary action drift under appearance changes and insufficient behavioral change under semantic alterations. BAS‑VLA uses a breaking‑centered calibration core and a selective evidence‑gated preserving auxiliary to maintain performance on clean and semantics‑preserving conditions while suppressing stale‑task behavior. Experiments on OpenPI‑pi0.5 and LIBERO‑Object Milk‑Swap show high success rates on clean and preserved tasks, a dramatic drop under target‑object swaps, and improved robustness to style shifts from 42% to 70% without harming clean performance.
