ToolCUA: Towards Optimal GUI-Tool Path Orchestration for Computer Use Agents

Read the original on arXiv AI →

ToolCUA is an end‑to‑end agent that learns to optimally orchestrate GUI actions and tool calls for Computer Use Agents. It introduces a staged training pipeline that first scales interleaved GUI‑tool trajectories from static GUI data, then bootstraps decision making with single‑turn reinforcement learning, and finally refines performance via online agentic RL guided by a tool‑efficient path reward. On the OSWorld‑MCP benchmark, ToolCUA achieves 46.85% accuracy, a 66% relative improvement over the baseline and a 3.9% gain over GUI‑only models, setting a new state of the art for comparable‑scale models.

CUA-Universe: A Scalable and Dynamic Environment for Hybrid GUI+CLI Agents

CUA-Universe is a scalable environment-to-data pipeline that transforms real desktop software into hybrid GUI+CLI environments, enabling agents to coordinate visual inspection with command-line operations. It includes App-Forge for reproducible VMs and CLI surfaces, Task-Weave for generating diverse hybrid tasks, and Path-Steer for efficient rollouts and trajectory harvesting. Training on this data improves agent success and efficiency across multiple benchmarks, demonstrating the value of hybrid interaction.

AnyAct: Universal Action for Self-Evolving Agents

AnyAct introduces a universal action layer that consolidates diverse tool capabilities into a self‑evolving action space for AI agents operating in open‑world environments. It tackles the scale dilemma, tool non‑stationarity, and heterogeneous feedback by using hierarchical progressive retrieval and test‑time reliability evolution, while a heterogeneous observation grounding module unifies multi‑modal feedback. Evaluations on LiveMCPBench and the newly created OSMCP benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance, with significant gains in task success rate and reduced execution steps, especially for models with limited native capabilities.

UniToolCall: Unifying Tool-Use Representation, Data, and Evaluation for LLM Agents

UniToolCall introduces a unified framework for tool-use in large language model agents, standardizing toolset construction, dataset generation, and evaluation. The framework aggregates over 22,000 tools and creates a hybrid training corpus of more than 390,000 instances by combining ten public datasets with synthetically generated, structurally controlled trajectories. It models diverse interaction patterns—single‑hop vs. multi‑hop, single‑turn vs. multi‑turn, serial vs. parallel execution—and adds an Anchor Linkage mechanism to enforce cross‑turn dependencies, while converting seven public benchmarks into a common Query–Action–Observation–Answer format for fine‑grained evaluation.
