CUA-Universe is a scalable environment-to-data pipeline that transforms real desktop software into hybrid GUI+CLI environments, enabling agents to coordinate visual inspection with command-line operations. It includes App-Forge for reproducible VMs and CLI surfaces, Task-Weave for generating diverse hybrid tasks, and Path-Steer for efficient rollouts and trajectory harvesting. Training on this data improves agent success and efficiency across multiple benchmarks, demonstrating the value of hybrid interaction.

VLAA-GUI is a modular framework for autonomous GUI agents that addresses early stopping and repetitive loops by integrating three core components: a Completeness Verifier, a Loop Breaker, and an on-demand Search Agent. The framework also includes optional Coding and Grounding Agents for specialized tasks. Evaluations on five backbones across Linux and Windows benchmarks show strong performance, with some models surpassing human results and the Loop Breaker significantly reducing wasted steps.

The paper introduces EvoSkill-GUI, a training‑free framework that enables GUI agents to evolve their skills during deployment. Each skill is packaged with metadata, executable plans, and recovery rules, and the system follows a reflect‑revise‑reuse loop where the agent instantly revises skills based on execution feedback. Experiments on MobileWorld, AndroidWorld, and OSWorld show consistent performance gains up to +16.2% without any additional training.

arXiv:2606. 03103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world professional desktop workflows in specialized creative and engineering software unfold over long horizons and often require human-in-the-loop coordination, where agents proactively seek necessary information and users provide additional instructions, clarifications, feedback, or corrections as the task progresses.

arXiv:2606. 06560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-use agents (CUAs) operate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) through vision and control primitives, and their capabilities have advanced rapidly, driven in part by standardized online evaluation benchmarks such as OSWorld, which serve both as evaluation tools and as training environments for reinforcement learning.
