Web agents that act from rendered pixels avoid the fragility and heavy token cost of reading a page's HTML or accessibility tree, but training them depends on large amounts of high-quality interaction...

arXiv:2508. 04412v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The advent of large language models (LLMs) has sparked an evolution of autonomous web browsing agents: given a web browsing task and serialised user interface (UI) state, an LLM is expected to suggest input actions that incrementally solve the given task.

The paper investigates how to improve large language model (LLM) based autonomous web agents by filtering irrelevant webpage content. The authors reproduce baseline models on the WebArena benchmark and identify failure modes caused by raw HTML input. They propose DeBERTa‑ and T5‑based retrieval models that rank HTML elements by relevance, fine‑tuned on Mind2Web data, and demonstrate that the DeBERTa model raises the LLaMA‑2‑70B agent’s success rate from 1.97% to 2.96%. Additionally, a zero‑shot ColBERT retriever achieves recall of 0.52 on Mind2Web and 0.47 on WebArena.

arXiv:2605. 30000v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Front-end web code has become a core product surface for every frontier LLM release, yet evaluating these interactive applications at development speed remains costly because human-judged leaderboards like Arena do not scale.

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.

arXiv:2606. 20724v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-horizon web agents often fail in ways hidden by final-answer evaluation: they may visit useful pages, produce a well-formed answer, and terminate confidently while still missing fields, over-including unsupported items, or relying on stale evidence.
