Wuying-Browser-Agent: Real-World Centric Fundamental Long-Horizon Browser Agents

Wuying-Browser-Agent is a unified framework designed to improve long-horizon browser agents by aligning execution, supervision, optimization, and evaluation. It introduces a structured browser harness, reflection and UI-specialized Curriculum SFT (RUIC‑SFT) for recovery and complex UI interactions, and Divergence‑Aware Online GRPO (DAO‑GRPO) for better credit assignment. The framework is evaluated on BrowserBench—a bilingual real‑web benchmark of 350 tasks—and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on multiple browser‑use benchmarks, while also transferring well to other agentic tasks.

The Hard Part Comes After Search: Benchmarking Web Agents on Synthesizing, Organizing, and Displaying Knowledge

The paper introduces KNOWS, a benchmark for evaluating web agents that act as assistants by retrieving, synthesizing, and presenting information across complex, multi-step browser tasks. It outlines a task design rubric, evaluation protocol combining deterministic checks with LLM judgments, and reports that current agents achieve only modest success, with the best performing agent succeeding on less than 3% of tasks. The study highlights significant gaps in agents’ tool use, visual understanding, and long‑horizon reasoning.

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.
