Jev-Mobile: Jev as an Executor for Mobile GUI Agents

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Jev-Mobile introduces a new approach for mobile GUI agents by separating high‑frequency lightweight execution from low‑frequency vision‑language model (VLM) planning. The VLM sets local goals, the accessibility tree provides a structured action space, and Jev, a fast typed decision model, repeatedly selects actions within this space, allowing multiple GUI actions per VLM decision. On the AndroidWorld task suite, Jev-Mobile achieves 79% task success, reduces mean end‑to‑end execution time by 32.7%, and cuts model API cost by 73.4% compared to a step‑wise VLM baseline.

Benchmarking General Mobile Assistants in Challenging Real-World Scenarios

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.
