| 18 | + - 📖 TLDR: GUI‑Actor introduces a coordinate‑free visual grounding approach for GUI agents by adding an attention‑based “<ACTOR>” action head atop a frozen vision‑language model. It learns to align with relevant visual patches and produces multiple candidate regions per forward pass. An optional grounding verifier scores candidates to select the best. The method improves spatial‑semantic alignment and generalizes well across unseen resolutions. On benchmarks like ScreenSpot‑Pro, GUI‑Actor‑7B outperforms prior SOTA UI‑TARS‑72B, with verifier‑augmented versions achieving even higher accuracy—while only fine‑tuning ~100 M parameters. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} |

To bridge this, the authors introduce **UI‑Evol**, a plug‑and‑play two‑stage module for GUI agents—**Retrace** recovers actual action sequences from real agent–environment interactions, and **Critique** refines knowledge by comparing these sequences with external references. Experiments using Agent S2 on the OSWorld benchmark show significant gains in task performance and reduced behavioral variance, improving agent reliability. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} |

The method defines an **Explore Metric**, measuring how well agents generalize across branching states and actions. A large-scale pseudo trajectory-tree dataset (~1,536 episodes, 43,759 instructions) was built using GPT4o-mini and Qwen2.5-vl. The study benchmarks OS‑Atlas and UI‑TARS agents across width/depth dimensions, revealing state and action comprehension gaps.
