CUA-Universe: A Scalable and Dynamic Environment for Hybrid GUI+CLI Agents

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.

OpenGCUA: Toward a Fully Open Stack for Generalist Computer Use

OpenGCUA is an open‑stack project that aims to make generalist computer‑use agents (GCUs) fully accessible to the research community. The first release focuses on code execution, allowing agents to use intermediate results and programming skills directly in computer interaction, and introduces harness‑to‑model decision transfer to shift observation and task‑state decisions from fixed rules to the model. On the OSWorld‑v2 benchmark, the full configuration boosts task scores for all eight evaluated models—including GPT‑6 Astra and Claude Opus 5—by an average of +19.6 partial‑score points and cuts steps per task by 53 % compared to batched GUI‑only execution, while also providing a real‑device harness and cross‑device SDK. whyItMatters":"By releasing the full stack, OpenGCUA enables systematic study and broader experimentation with generalist computer‑use agents, addressing the current limitation of closed implementations and demonstrating significant performance gains across diverse models."

ProgramDistill: From Interactive Web Apps to Verifiable Reference-Guided SWE Tasks

ProgramDistill is a benchmark that evaluates coding agents by having them infer and implement features discovered through interaction with fully functional reference web applications. The benchmark is built by factorizing applications into features of varying granularity, each linked to replayable behaviors that can be executed via a gold patch. Using a mine‑craft‑patch pipeline, the authors discovered 1,975 replay‑verified behaviors across 26 applications and automatically constructed 4,063 tasks, enabling evaluation of nine frontier coding agents, including GPT‑6 Astra and Claude Opus 5, on both full‑application and partial‑application reconstruction tasks.

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.

Qwen-CUA: Native Computer Use for (almost) Everything

arXiv:2608. 02352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Native computer use offers a general interface for agents to operate almost any software available to people, but requires long-horizon state tracking, large-scale interactive experience, and learning from sparse yet verifiable outcomes.

MAI-Gym: An Open All-in-One Platform for GUI Agent Evaluation and RL Training across Mobile and Computer Environments

MAI-Gym is an open, all-in-one platform that unifies GUI agent evaluation, data collection, and online reinforcement learning training across mobile, computer, and web environments. It supports ten established benchmarks, scales to 20,000 parallel environment instances, and enables automated synthesis of diverse GUI applications and tasks with execution-validated verifiers. Using this platform, the authors trained a 9B-parameter agent, MAI-Gym-9B, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on MobileWorld and OSWorld-Verified, and demonstrated that training on a mocked train‑ticketing app improves real‑world task success from 28.8% to 48.1% on a physical phone.

AgentHorizon: Evaluating Agentic Judges for Long-Horizon Computer-Use Tasks

AgentHorizon is a benchmark comprising 1,373 computer‑use tasks with instruction‑trajectory pairs collected from 166 hours of human‑recorded activity across three operating systems. The benchmark uses a paired design that swaps instructions to create negative tasks, testing judges’ ability to distinguish successful trajectories from those that completed a similar but incompatible request. Eleven judges were evaluated, with GPT‑5.5 achieving the highest balanced accuracy of 80.9% on the full trajectory subset, while tool‑use benefits some models but harms others, revealing large variability in judges’ performance.
