BaRA: BFS-and-Reflection Web Data Collection Agent

arXiv:2607. 00007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based web agents reduce manual scripting for web data collection, yet on live websites, they often miss relevant pages, return incomplete multimodal outputs, or return media URLs that are not directly downloadable.

OpenWebRL: Demystifying Online Multi-turn Reinforcement Learning for Visual Web Agents

Building capable visual web agents requires long-horizon reasoning, precise grounding, and robust interaction with dynamic real-world websites. Despite rapid progress, the strongest systems remain largely proprietary, while open agents still depend heavily on supervised post-training over large collections of curated web trajectories.

When Web Agents Finish but Still Fail: Reproducible Triggers and Trace Diagnostics for Parallel Web Exploration

arXiv:2606. 20724v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-horizon web agents often fail in ways hidden by final-answer evaluation: they may visit useful pages, produce a well-formed answer, and terminate confidently while still missing fields, over-including unsupported items, or relying on stale evidence.

PIXELRAG: Web Screenshots Beat Text for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2606. 28344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with retrieved web text has become a dominant paradigm, yet the web is not natively textual: existing systems depend on complex parsing pipelines that linearize HTML and discard layout, visual structure, and formatting.
