Mage-VL-Cowork: A Full Training Recipe to Learn Hybrid Computer Use From Evolved Harnesses

Mage‑VL‑Cowork is a 4‑billion‑parameter hybrid computer‑use agent that integrates visual GUI interaction with code and terminal execution in a single policy. It is trained via a progressive five‑stage curriculum—mid‑training, supervised fine‑tuning, and reinforcement learning—starting from a multimodally aligned checkpoint. The training pipeline, Mage‑CUA‑Forge, automates task generation and skill conditioning, producing nearly 300,000 desktop and web tasks while cutting per‑task costs by 82.6%, and the resulting model achieves 66.0% on OSWorld‑Verified, setting a new state‑of‑the‑art for its size.

Adaptation of Computer Use Agents to New Software with User Manuals

The paper introduces MAGE, a framework that uses user manuals to enhance computer use agents (CUAs) for new software. MAGE retrieves relevant manual content during execution, generates procedural guidance, and adapts the agent policy through interaction. In training, it converts manuals into executable task-plan pairs to guide rollouts, reducing the need for human‑annotated demonstrations and improving task success rates across six applications.

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.

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.

LiteGUI: Lightweight GUI Agents via Multi-Solution Guided Distillation and Dual-Level Reinforcement Learning

LiteGUI is a new framework for training lightweight GUI agents that tackles the long‑horizon, multi‑path nature of GUI interactions. It introduces a two‑stage post‑training pipeline: Guided On‑Policy Distillation, which uses human‑verified multi‑solution action annotations to provide privileged teacher guidance at each state, and Multi‑Solution Dual‑Level GRPO, which combines action‑level supervision with history‑conditioned planning‑quality supervision while handling multiple valid actions. The authors also present a scalable data generation pipeline and the Lite‑Dataset, enabling extensive evaluation across GUI benchmarks and demonstrating substantial performance gains over existing training paradigms.

CUA-Master: Scaling Computer-use Agents through Open-World Recursive Improvements

CUA-Master introduces a nested double-loop recursive improvement framework to scale computer-use agents. The outer flywheel continuously integrates open-world data and model weaknesses to guide data construction and optimization, while the inner flywheel mines instructional videos for seed tasks and propagates them into reusable primitives for diverse task synthesis. The system also employs a feedback-guided snapshot-rollback retry mechanism for reliable trajectory collection, achieving competitive performance on multiple benchmarks and demonstrating continuous gains across iterations.
