GUI agents are shifting from metadata-dependent large language models to purely visual multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that operate directly on screenshots. The core task, GUI grounding, requires translating abstract user instructions into precise element coordinates.

Recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have evolved from static perception to interleaved visual-language reasoning, often referred to as ``thinking with images''. A basic operation in this reasoning process is to zoom in on regions of interest (often represented with bounding boxes) to acquire finer visual details.
RankGround is a two‑stage framework for GUI grounding that uses a single Vision‑Language Model call per query. It introduces GroundRanker, a lightweight multimodal reranker that selects the most promising crop from a dense candidate set, trained with a two‑stage curriculum on ranking supervision data derived from existing grounding datasets. Experiments show RankGround outperforms strong baselines, achieving 1.4× faster inference and a 5.5% average improvement in localization accuracy over the second‑best method across all backbones and screen scales.
