Benchmarking LLM Judges for Mobile Agent Evaluation

arXiv:2608. 11434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mobile agent benchmarks increasingly rely on LLM-based judges to evaluate task completion, yet the reliability of these judges on mobile agent trajectories remains largely unexamined.

PhoneWorld: Scaling Phone-Use Agent Environments

arXiv:2605. 29486v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A central bottleneck for phone-use agents is that controllable, reproducible environments covering real mobile behavior are hard to build at scale.

Automated Trajectory Evaluation for Mobile Agents via Step-Level Consequence Reasoning and Aggregation

The paper introduces CRATE, a two‑stage vision‑language model framework that evaluates mobile agents by reasoning about each step’s consequences and aggregating this evidence to assess task completion. It also presents CRATE‑S, an extension that evaluates operational safety. Experiments show CRATE and CRATE‑S outperform existing benchmarks, achieving high F1‑scores on AndroidWorld and MobileRisk datasets.

APPSim-Bench: Bridging Real-world Apps and Reproducible Evaluation for Mobile GUI Agents

APPSim-Bench is a new benchmark for mobile GUI agents that uses controllable simulated apps to balance realism and reproducibility. It includes 557 tasks across 17 popular Chinese and English apps, with a coding-agent-assisted and human-verified workflow that ensures deterministic evaluation. Evaluation of 19 agents shows that autonomous mobile execution is still far from perfect, with the best model completing only 50.27% of tasks and many failures in longer workflows and numerical reasoning.

GAUGE: When Not to Trust LLM-as-a-Judge in User-Simulated Evaluation of Task-Oriented Agents

GAUGE is a new offline protocol that evaluates whether the common practice of using an LLM-as-a-judge to rank task‑oriented agents actually aligns with a verifiable reward. Across 25 agents from six providers on two benchmarks, GAUGE finds that user satisfaction scores are largely uncorrelated with task success, and that the judge’s ranking loses precision when agents are closely matched in performance. The study highlights a gap between ranking validity and construct validity in current evaluation practices.

SkillTV-Bench: Benchmarking How Well Judges Perform on Skill-Augmented Agentic Execution

LLM agents increasingly execute long-horizon tasks through tool use and environment interaction, shifting evaluation from final-response scoring to verification of complete executions. For skill-augmented agents, verification additionally requires the procedural knowledge encoded in task-time skills, because this knowledge indicates what evidence to inspect and which failures are task-critical.
