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.

PlannerForge is a unified LLM‑agent framework that covers the entire scenario‑based testing pipeline for autonomous driving systems, from scenario generation to ADS assessment, and adds ADS enhancement and benchmarking stages. It was evaluated with ten off‑the‑shelf LLMs across all tasks and five prompt conditions, achieving best‑per‑task scores between 0.88 and 1.00 and matching commercial APIs with open‑source models such as Qwen3.6:35B. The end‑to‑end chaining retains 83% of seed queries for commercial backends and 78% for open‑source, outperforming existing tools like Scenario Factory 2.0 and BM25 in natural‑language generation, attribute realization, and physically valid edits.
whyItMatters":"PlannerForge demonstrates that a single LLM‑based system can streamline and improve the fragmented scenario‑based testing workflow for autonomous driving, achieving high performance without domain‑specific fine‑tuning."

The paper introduces DroidTool, a framework that enables Android GUI agents to automatically generate and integrate tool actions—Python functions that manipulate application states—into their hybrid action space. DroidTool follows an agentic workflow with stages of proposal, implementation, test generation, execution, and repair, and it constructs relational tests to ensure comprehensive verification. Experiments on benchmarks such as AndroidWorld, B-MoCA, and MobileSafetyBench show that agents using DroidTool’s self-generated tools outperform GUI-only agents by about 4.47% in performance while reducing interactions by roughly 20.05%.

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.
