arXiv:2606. 17929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-using agents drive real software through the screen -- clicking and typing -- but they solve every task from scratch: asked to repeat a task, an agent re-reads the screen, re-reasons every tap, and pays the full cost again.
arXiv:2607. 10059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous tasks, yet existing evaluations mostly focus on task success rather than whether agents know when to abstain.
arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.
EchoPath is a model‑agnostic framework that transforms validated GUI interaction trajectories into standardized, parameter‑controlled memories, enabling agents to replay specific GUI actions deterministically. Each memory records task intent, preconditions, input parameters, GUI evidence, validation provenance, and lifecycle state, and uses an image‑based target‑reaiming algorithm to adjust coordinates for the current screen before execution. Experiments on real computer‑use tasks show that EchoPath cuts median token cost by over 90 % and median execution time by about 60 %.
The paper introduces a coroutine-bridge harness that lets a language model emit a Python program to manage tool calls in the CAR-bench evaluation. By decoupling model invocations from tool round-trips, the approach reduces model calls to a median of two per task while maintaining seven agent turns, achieving a median latency of 1.8 s on a Cerebras gpt‑oss‑120b. The harness achieved 60.0 % Pass³ on the official hidden evaluation, outperforming the baseline by 4.5× and matching frontier-model agents on GPT‑5.5, all while keeping the prompt largely cached and minimizing input compute.
arXiv:2609. 04875v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-running LLM agents are stateful: beyond the transcript they accrete compressed summaries, plaintext memory, pending tool plans, and, under every serving API, a KV cache.
arXiv:2603.01209v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In CodeAct, language-model agents write Python that calls tools and use execution feedback to choose actions. Persistent runtimes preserve Python v...
arXiv:2608. 15089v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents can fail even when their underlying models can solve the constituent steps.
arXiv:2606. 07682v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents are increasingly expected to complete long-horizon workflows that require sustained progress over hours, millions of tokens, and complex environments.
VLAA-GUI is a modular framework for autonomous GUI agents that addresses early stopping and repetitive loops by integrating three core components: a Completeness Verifier, a Loop Breaker, and an on-demand Search Agent. The framework also includes optional Coding and Grounding Agents for specialized tasks. Evaluations on five backbones across Linux and Windows benchmarks show strong performance, with some models surpassing human results and the Loop Breaker significantly reducing wasted steps.
arXiv:2608. 05784v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents pay full frontier inference to re-derive routines their user has already performed, because an agent's memory today records what the user said, not what the user did.
arXiv:2608.30207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer use agents (CUAs) are vision-language models that perceive a screen and act on a real operating system through mouse, keyboard, and terminal...
arXiv:2607. 28399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents often fail on transient GUI events because they produce the correct action only after the relevant window has already closed.
