Benchmarking General Mobile Assistants in Challenging Real-World Scenarios

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces GMA, a new benchmark for evaluating general mobile assistants in realistic, challenging scenarios. GMA expands on existing benchmarks by offering seven open‑source applications across diverse domains and 300 tasks organized into four difficulty tiers, ranging from simple actions to complex multi‑step workflows. The authors evaluate eight state‑of‑the‑art models, showing that performance drops sharply with task complexity, and conduct ablation studies on harness design—such as context retention and state tracking—to demonstrate how these choices can improve outcomes, especially for demanding workflows.

APPSim-Bench: Bridging Real-world Apps and Reproducible Evaluation for Mobile GUI Agents

APPSim-Bench is a new benchmark for mobile GUI agents that uses controllable simulated apps to balance realism and reproducibility. It includes 557 tasks across 17 popular Chinese and English apps, with a coding-agent-assisted and human-verified workflow that ensures deterministic evaluation. Evaluation of 19 agents shows that autonomous mobile execution is still far from perfect, with the best model completing only 50.27% of tasks and many failures in longer workflows and numerical reasoning.

When Faster Decisions Do Not Make Better Agents: An Empirical Study of Jev in Agent Workflows

The study evaluates the impact of integrating the Jev decision model into five AI agents across two application domains—embodied tasks in ALFWorld and mobile app use in AndroidWorld. While Jev consistently lowers decision cost and latency, the resulting task-level benefits differ by workflow: task success remains near baseline in ALFWorld but drops noticeably in two mobile agents. The authors find that auxiliary reasoning, additional interactions, failed recoveries, and premature completions can offset decision savings, leading to higher cost per successful outcome in some cases.

PhoneWorld: Scaling Phone-Use Agent Environments

arXiv:2605. 29486v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A central bottleneck for phone-use agents is that controllable, reproducible environments covering real mobile behavior are hard to build at scale.
