CLI-based coding agents outperform GUI baselines on AndroidWorld and MobileWorld, with oracles reaching 88.8% and 86.3% solvability and a new CLI-Advantage suite showing CLI superiority in bulk operations, filtering, aggregation, cross-app workflows, and hidden state.
A new benchmark shows LLM smartphone agents achieve comparable success with screen text alone as with screenshots, but both fail often due to UI accessibility and reasoning gaps.
TIPO applies preference-intensity weighting and padding gating to stabilize preference optimization for privacy personalization in mobile GUI agents, yielding higher alignment and distinction metrics than prior methods.
Skill-SD turns an agent's completed trajectories into dynamic natural-language skills that condition only the teacher in self-distillation, yielding 14-42% gains over RL and OPSD baselines on multi-turn agent benchmarks.
VeriOS-Agent is an OS agent that proactively queries humans in untrustworthy scenarios via a query-driven framework and three-stage training, achieving 19.72% higher step-wise success rate over baselines while preserving normal performance.
LaSM is a layer-wise scaling mechanism that amplifies attention and MLP modules in critical layers to defend GUI agents against pop-up attacks by correcting attention misalignment.
The paper develops a unified framework that organizes computer-use agent reliability around perception-decision-execution layers and creation-deployment-operation-maintenance stages to map security and alignment interventions.
A survey consolidating frameworks, data practices, large action models, benchmarks, applications, and research gaps in LLM-brained GUI agents.
