ComAct: Reframing Professional Software Manipulation via COM-as-Action Paradigm

arXiv:2606. 13239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing computer-use agents remain fundamentally limited in professional software manipulation: GUI-based agents suffer from fragile visual grounding and long-horizon error accumulation, while API-basedapproaches struggle with heterogeneous protocols and inaccessible commercial interfaces.

SpatialClaw: Rethinking Action Interface for Agentic Spatial Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 13673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial reasoning, the ability to determine where objects are, how they relate, and how they move in 3D, remains a fundamental challenge for vision-language models (VLMs).
