IGG: A Benchmark for Interactive GUI Grounding under Visibility Constraints

IGG is a new benchmark for Interactive GUI Grounding that requires agents to first interact with a GUI to make a target visible and then click it. It includes 601 tasks across 16 controllable environments and seven visibility-constraint sub‑types, with a compact action space of scrolling, moving, dragging, waiting, and clicking. Human participants achieve 94.6% accuracy, while GPT‑5.5 and the best open‑source VLM reach 79.4% and 31.6% respectively, highlighting a gap mainly due to the difficulty of executing reveal interactions.

UI-Mate: Advancing Open-Weight Foundation GUI Agents with In-Context Demonstrations

arXiv:2608. 15930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation GUI agents can automate complex digital tasks, but deployment is hindered by scarce and biased training data, ambiguous prompts, and unreliable execution.

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.

VISTA: View-Consistent Self-Verified Training for GUI Grounding

arXiv:2606. 14579v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When applying Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for GUI Grounding, rollouts are sampled from a single screenshot view; groups often become either all failures on difficult instances or all successes on easy ones, yielding no useful relative advantage.

Hybrid Computer Use: A Unified Programmatic, Semantic, and Visual Interface for General Agents

Hybrid Computer Use (HCU) is a unified interface that enables general agents to interact with computers through three complementary channels: programmatic code and command-line tools, semantic accessibility (AX) features, and visual graphical user interfaces (GUI). The design emphasizes efficient AX interaction, batch execution, and AX diffs to reduce round trips, while a supplementary skill guides agents in selecting and coordinating these channels. On the OSWorld 2.0 benchmark, HCU outperforms other systems in both efficiency and task success, demonstrating the benefits of flexible, multi‑channel computer‑use interfaces.

ComponentBench: Diagnosing Component-Level Failures in Computer-Use Agents

ComponentBench is a new benchmark that evaluates computer‑use agents at the component level on modern web UIs. It contains 97 canonical UI components and 2,910 programmatically verified tasks, along with cleaned human reference trajectories for measuring task success and interaction efficiency. The benchmark also offers a scalable pipeline for auditing structural difficulty and synthesizing failure analyses across tasks and component families.
