Learn How to Act from Your Own Interactions: On-Policy Self-Distillation for GUI Agents

The paper introduces GUI‑SD‑v2, an on‑policy self‑distillation framework that extends previous methods from GUI grounding to multi‑turn GUI interaction. It employs a two‑stage training process that first improves privilege following by jointly optimizing rollouts with and without privileged guidance, then selectively distills step‑specific reasoning and memory guidance via a privilege‑conditioned self‑teacher. Experiments on AndroidWorld and MobileWorld benchmarks demonstrate that GUI‑SD‑v2 outperforms existing OPSD baselines and state‑of‑the‑art methods in Pass@1 and Pass@3 success rates.

Reflect, Revise, Reuse: Training-Free Skill Evolution for GUI Agents

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.

From Self-Distillation to Self-Practice: Privileged Information for Multi-Turn Agents

The paper examines on‑policy self‑distillation (OPSD) for multi‑turn agents, showing that using privileged information (PI) in the loss can make agents appear confident yet underperform plain RL, sometimes worse than the untrained base model. To address this, the authors propose Privileged Self‑Practice (PSP), which keeps PI in the prompt and uses it only during sampling, not in the loss. PSP consistently outperforms plain GRPO across AppWorld and SWE‑bench Verified, improving task‑goal completion by up to 65% and resolved rate by up to 61%.

ComputerSD: Online Self-Distillation from Real-Time Feedback for Computer-Use Agents

ComputerSD is an online self‑distillation method for computer‑use agents that leverages real‑time feedback from executed GUI transitions. It uses a fine‑tuned GUI analyzer to generate guidance and a step‑level value score after each action, combining token‑level OPSD with trajectory‑level GRPO in an asynchronous training framework. On the OSWorld‑Verified benchmark, ComputerSD improves performance over outcome‑only GRPO by 1.9 and 4.1 percentage points on Qwen3‑VL‑8B‑Thinking and EvoCUA‑8B backbones, and shows strong generalizability in out‑of‑distribution tests.

GUI vs. CLI: Execution Bottlenecks in Screen-Only and Skill-Mediated Computer-Use Agents

arXiv:2606. 24551v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents can execute software tasks through either graphical interfaces or programmatic command interfaces, but existing evaluations confound interaction modality with differences in tasks, initial states, verifiers, and permitted actions.

KnowAct-GUIClaw: Know Deeply, Act Perfectly, Personal GUI Assistant with Self-Evolving Memory and Skill

OpenClaw has emerged as a leading agent framework for complex task automation, yet it faces insufficient cross-platform GUI interaction support and a well-built self-evolution mechanism. These flaws limit its adaptation to diverse device ecosystems and prevent performance improvements through continuous learning from execution experience.

From Self-Distillation to Self-Practice: Privileged Information for Multi-Turn Agents

The paper introduces Privileged Self-Practice (PSP), a method that retains privileged information (PI) in the prompt rather than the loss during on‑policy self‑distillation for multi‑turn agents. PSP injects short per‑task instructions from an analyzer model when rollouts fail, sampling again with the instruction in context and training with the unchanged GRPO objective. Experiments on AppWorld and SWE‑bench Verified show PSP consistently outperforms plain GRPO, boosting task‑goal completion by up to 65% and resolved rate by up to 61% across three student models.
