On 108 long-horizon real-world computer workflows, frontier agents complete at most 20.6% of tasks and fail mainly by losing hidden state, not by basic GUI control.

LiveBrowseComp shows search agents rely on intrinsic knowledge on standard benchmarks, with scores dropping 25-40 points and closed-book accuracy below 2% on questions about facts from the prior 90 days.
ShopGym introduces ShopArena to convert live storefronts into self-contained sandbox shops and ShopGuru to synthesize 224 benchmark tasks, with validation showing structural preservation and positive correlation of agent performance between synthetic and live shops.
MMSkills packages multimodal procedural knowledge into state-conditioned skills with text, state cards, and multi-view keyframes, generated from public trajectories via an agentic process and used at inference via branch-loaded inspection to improve visual agents on GUI and game benchmarks.
FlowEval evaluates generated UIs by measuring how closely their navigation flows match real websites via reference-based similarity metrics and shows strong correlation with human expert judgments.
Kamera stores a low-rank patch with each position-free KV chunk to restore cross-chunk conditioning lost in naive reuse, enabling cheap reordering, sliding windows, and recall across attention mechanisms.
MemVenom poisons multimodal memories in web agents via a two-stage trigger-conditioned retrieval and post-retrieval induction attack, achieving up to 99.15% success on GPT-5-family agents while preserving benign performance.
New benchmark Scammer4U finds 54-93% critical PII leakage from frontier web agents on scam sites versus 0% on benign twins, plus a 30-point gap between verbalized suspicion and actual submission.
PageGuide is a browser extension that grounds LLM responses in webpage DOM elements via visual overlays for Find, Guide, and Hide modes, reporting performance gains over unaided browsing in a 94-user study.
Mango raises web agent success rates to 63.6% on WebVoyager and 52.5% on WebWalkerQA by bandit-based starting-point selection and memory, beating baselines by 7.3% and 26.8%.
TEC is a new public dataset of detailed human trial-and-error trajectories and reflections on web tasks, with humans showing substantially higher accuracy than LLMs.
DynaWeb introduces a model-based RL framework that trains web agents via imagined rollouts in a learned web world model interleaved with real expert trajectories, yielding consistent gains on WebArena and WebVoyager benchmarks.
This survey categorizes agentic environments for LLMs by eight attributes and domains, introduces symbolic and neural synthesis paradigms with evaluation, and outlines four agent evolution pathways plus three environment evolution paradigms.
Cognitive Kernel-Pro provides an open-source agent framework with curated training data across web, file, code, and reasoning domains plus test-time reflection and voting, achieving SOTA results on GAIA among free agents.
A survey of 87 agents for computer use and 33 datasets that introduces a three-dimensional taxonomy across domain, interaction, and agent perspectives and identifies six research gaps.
WebUncertainty improves web agent performance on benchmarks by adaptively selecting planning modes based on task uncertainty and using confidence-induced action uncertainty in MCTS to quantify aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty for better decisions.
StepGuard framework with DDPO and CANR claims SOTA navigation and answer accuracy on web benchmarks by switching policies and triggering reflection on low-confidence steps.
