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.

Beyond Task Completion: Training Capable and Safe Computer-Use Agents

The paper introduces SCOPE, a method that post‑trains computer‑use agents to balance task completion with safety by conditioning actions on environmental risk. It combines supervised fine‑tuning on three trajectory types—capability demonstrations, safe continuations, and explicit refusals—followed by reinforcement learning to improve performance. Experiments starting from Qwen3.5‑9B show that SCOPE‑RL achieves high task success and attack‑avoidance rates, outperforming other agents on OSWorld and OS‑BLIND benchmarks.

UI-Venus-2 Technical Report

UI‑Venus‑2 is a general‑purpose foundation GUI agent that operates across mobile, web, and desktop environments using a unified closed‑loop reasoning‑action framework. The report details how the system expands environment coverage to over 170 multilingual mobile apps and native desktop OSes, scales task generation through a deep‑research pipeline, and enhances verification with trace‑level and sample‑level evaluators that use visual keypoints and multi‑model voting. Safety‑aware mechanisms are also incorporated to control consequential actions, positioning UI‑Venus‑2 as an efficient, open‑source tool for more generalizable, verifiable, and self‑reflective agents in real‑world applications.

PASTABench: Proactive Assessment of Sequential Trajectories for Agent Safety

PASTABench introduces a benchmark of 1,139 multi-turn trajectories to evaluate proactive safety monitoring in large language models. It formalizes three dimensions of intervention—whether, when, and what risk—to address gaps in step-level isolation and post-hoc trajectory assessment. The study finds that proactive intervention is largely unsolved, with the best model achieving only 40.74% optimal-timing interventions, and reveals that smaller models’ safety scores are often driven by lexical overfitting rather than true risk comprehension.
