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.

As GUI agents are increasingly deployed for mobile task automation, their reliability depends not only on final task outcomes, but also on whether they reach these outcomes through stable interaction...
MAI-Gym is an open, all-in-one platform that unifies GUI agent evaluation, data collection, and online reinforcement learning training across mobile, computer, and web environments. It supports ten established benchmarks, scales to 20,000 parallel environment instances, and enables automated synthesis of diverse GUI applications and tasks with execution-validated verifiers. Using this platform, the authors trained a 9B-parameter agent, MAI-Gym-9B, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on MobileWorld and OSWorld-Verified, and demonstrated that training on a mocked train‑ticketing app improves real‑world task success from 28.8% to 48.1% on a physical phone.

The paper introduces GMA, a new benchmark for evaluating general mobile assistants in realistic, challenging scenarios. GMA expands on existing benchmarks by offering seven open‑source applications across diverse domains and 300 tasks organized into four difficulty tiers, ranging from simple actions to complex multi‑step workflows. The authors evaluate eight state‑of‑the‑art models, showing that performance drops sharply with task complexity, and conduct ablation studies on harness design—such as context retention and state tracking—to demonstrate how these choices can improve outcomes, especially for demanding workflows.

Trace2World is a framework that decouples global behavior reconstruction from implementation to create executable GUI environments from real interaction traces. It reconciles traces into a shared, source‑linked app model, compiles an executable environment, and uses independent replay of source workflows to localize mismatches for bounded implementation repair. In experiments, Trace2World built 50 environments from 1,570 traces and reproduced 91.1% of 200 workflows across ten apps, outperforming a task‑local baseline and improving benchmark success and external GUI benchmark scores.
