Among existing online mobile-use benchmarks, AndroidWorld has emerged as the dominant benchmark due to its reproducible environment and deterministic evaluation; however, recent agents achieving over 90% success rates indicate its saturation and motivate the need for a more challenging benchmark. In addition, its environment lacks key application categories, such as e-commerce and enterprise communication, and does not reflect realistic mobile-use scenarios characterized by vague user instructions and hybrid tool usage. To bridge this gap, we introduce MobileWorld, a substantially more challenging benchmark designed to better reflect real-world mobile usage, comprising 201 tasks across 20 applications, while maintaining the same level of reproducible evaluation as AndroidWorld. The difficulty of MobileWorld is twofold. First, it emphasizes long-horizon tasks with cross-application interactions: MobileWorld requires nearly twice as many task-completion steps on average (27.8 vs. 14.3) and includes far more multi-application tasks (62.2% vs. 9.5%) compared to AndroidWorld. Second, MobileWorld extends beyond standard GUI manipulation by introducing novel task categories, including agent-user interaction and MCP-augmented tasks. To ensure robust evaluation, we provide snapshot-based container environment and precise functional verifications, including backend database inspection and task callback APIs. We further develop a planner-executor agentic framework with extended action spaces to support user interactions and MCP calls. Our results reveal a sharp performance drop compared to AndroidWorld, with the best agentic framework and end-to-end model achieving 51.7% and 20.9% success rates, respectively. Our analysis shows that current models struggle significantly with user interaction and MCP calls, offering a strategic roadmap toward more robust, next-generation mobile intelligence.

World models have shown great utility in improving the task performance of embodied agents. While prior work largely focuses on pixel-space world models, these approaches face practical limitations in GUI settings, where predicting complex visual elements in future states is often difficult. In this work, we explore an alternative formulation of world modeling for GUI agents, where state transitions are described in natural language rather than predicting raw pixels. First, we introduce MobileWorldBench, a benchmark that evaluates the ability of vision-language models (VLMs) to function as world models for mobile GUI agents. Second, we release MobileWorld, a large-scale dataset consisting of 1.4M samples, that significantly improves the world modeling capabilities of VLMs. Finally, we propose a novel framework that integrates VLM world models into the planning framework of mobile agents, demonstrating that semantic world models can directly benefit mobile agents by improving task success rates.

The development of GUI agents could revolutionize the next generation of human-computer interaction. Motivated by this vision, we present MAI-UI, a family of foundation GUI agents spanning the full spectrum of sizes, including 2B, 8B, 32B, and 235B-A22B variants. We identify four key challenges to realistic deployment: the lack of native agent-user interaction, the limits of UI-only operation, the absence of a practical deployment architecture, and brittleness in dynamic environments. MAI-UI addresses these issues with a unified methodology: a self-evolving data pipeline that expands the navigation data to include user interaction and MCP tool calls, a native device-cloud collaboration system routes execution by task state, and an online RL framework with advanced optimizations to scale parallel environments and context length. MAI-UI establishes new state-of-the-art across GUI grounding and mobile navigation. On grounding benchmarks, it reaches 73.5% on ScreenSpot-Pro, 91.3% on MMBench GUI L2, 70.9% on OSWorld-G, and 49.2% on UI-Vision, surpassing Gemini-3-Pro and Seed1.8 on ScreenSpot-Pro. On mobile GUI navigation, it sets a new SOTA of 76.7% on AndroidWorld, surpassing UI-Tars-2, Gemini-2.5-Pro and Seed1.8. On MobileWorld, MAI-UI obtains 41.7% success rate, significantly outperforming end-to-end GUI models and competitive with Gemini-3-Pro based agentic frameworks. Our online RL experiments show significant gains from scaling parallel environments from 32 to 512 (+5.2 points) and increasing environment step budget from 15 to 50 (+4.3 points). Finally, the native device-cloud collaboration system improves on-device performance by 33%, reduces cloud model calls by over 40%, and preserves user privacy.

Recent advances in multimodal foundation models and agent systems have driven GUI agents from single-platform task execution toward cross-platform interaction. However, building multi-platform GUI agents remains challenging. On one hand, high-quality and executable cross-platform interaction trajectories are still scarce, and existing data often suffer from limited platform coverage. On the other hand, different platforms exhibit distinct interaction conventions, making joint or continual training prone to behavioral pattern mixing, platform-specific capability degradation, and catastrophic forgetting. To address these challenges, we construct Uni-GUI, a high-quality cross-platform GUI interaction dataset, and propose UI-MOPD, the first method that incorporates multi-teacher on-policy distillation into continual learning for GUI agents. UI-MOPD dynamically selects a platform-specific teacher according to the current environment and transfers platform-specific behavioral priors to a shared policy through platform-conditioned distillation, enabling adaptation to new platforms while preserving capabilities on existing ones. Experiments on OSWorld and MobileWorld show that UI-MOPD achieves task success rates of 38.2% and 12.0%, respectively, demonstrating its effectiveness in balancing cross-platform capability retention and new-platform adaptation.

GUI agents drive applications through their visual interfaces instead of programmatic APIs, interacting with arbitrary software via taps, swipes, and keystrokes, reaching a long tail of applications that CLI-based agents cannot. Yet progress in this area is bottlenecked less by modeling capacity than by the absence of a coherent full-stack infrastructure: online RL training suffers from environment instability and closed pipelines, evaluation protocols drift silently across works, and trained agents rarely reach real users on real devices. We present ClawGUI, an open-source framework addressing these three gaps within a single harness. ClawGUI-RL provides the first open-source GUI agent RL infrastructure with validated support for both parallel virtual environments and real physical devices, integrating GiGPO with a Process Reward Model for dense step-level supervision. ClawGUI-Eval enforces a fully standardized evaluation pipeline across 6 benchmarks and 11+ models, achieving 95.8\% reproduction against official baselines. ClawGUI-Agent brings trained agents to Android, HarmonyOS, and iOS through 12+ chat platforms with hybrid CLI-GUI control and persistent personalized memory. Trained end to end within this pipeline, ClawGUI-2B achieves 17.1\% Success Rate on MobileWorld GUI-Only, outperforming the same-scale MAI-UI-2B baseline by 6.0\%.

MLLM-based mobile GUI agents have made substantial progress in UI understanding and action execution, but adapting them to real target apps remains costly because mobile apps are numerous, frequently updated, and hard to cover with human-written tasks, demonstrations, or reward labels. Existing annotation-free GUI learning reduces manual supervision, yet lacks a unified substrate connecting target-app exploration, curriculum mining, rollout execution, and feedback, while policy optimization often relies on isolated rollouts and coarse rewards that are hard to convert into reliable improvement signals. We present MobileForge, an annotation-free adaptation system for mobile GUI agents. MobileForge consists of MobileGym, which grounds task generation and rollout evaluation in real mobile app interaction, and Hierarchical Feedback-Guided Policy Optimization (HiFPO), which turns trajectory outcomes, step-level process feedback, and corrective hints into hint-contextualized step-level GRPO updates. Using only automatically generated annotation-free adaptation data, MobileForge adapts Qwen3-VL-8B to 67.2% Pass@3 on AndroidWorld, close to the closed-data GUI-specialized GUI-Owl-1.5-8B base model at 69.0%. The MobileForge-adapted ForgeOwl-8B further reaches 77.6% Pass@3 on AndroidWorld and 41.0% success on the out-of-domain MobileWorld GUI-only split, establishing the strongest open-data mobile GUI agent in our evaluation. Code, data, and trained models will be released at https://mobile-forge.github.io/.

OpenClaw has emerged as a leading agent framework for complex task automation, yet it faces insufficient cross-platform GUI interaction support and a well-built self-evolution mechanism. These flaws limit its adaptation to diverse device ecosystems and prevent performance improvements through continuous learning from execution experience. To resolve these issues, we propose the Know Deeply, Act Perfectly paradigm for personal assistants, which holds that accumulated user interaction and task-running experience directly improve execution accuracy and efficiency, unifying cognitive comprehension and operational execution. Based on this paradigm, we introduce KnowAct-GUIClaw, a novel Know-Route-Act-Reflect framework designed to address OpenClaw's GUI manipulation deficits and break through its cross-platform and recursive self-improvement constraints. First, the host agent leverages accumulated interaction experience and task-relevant knowledge for long-horizon task decomposition and allocation (Know). Second, a pluggable GUI subagent with an experience-attributable memory system (Know) and self-evolving skill library (Act), enabling seamless cross-platform migration and fast-path integration. Especially, this framework continuously stores user profiles and feedback to improve the accuracy of task decomposition and tool calls. Extensive experiments across Android, iOS, HarmonyOS and Windows show that KnowAct-GUIClaw achieves superior efficiency, accuracy and cross-platform adaptability. Especially, the GUIClaw with open-source Kimi-2.6 models achieves the best performance (64.1%) on the long-horizon MobileWorld benchmark, beating all agentical frameworks and closed-source agentical models, e.g., Seed-2.0-Pro and GPT-5.5. Additionally, the knowledgeable memory and execution skills supported by our framework are transferable across diverse base models, improving by 8.5% with Kimi-2.6.

MLLM-based mobile GUI agents have made substantial progress on short-horizon tasks, yet remain unreliable on long-horizon tasks that require retaining intermediate facts across many steps and app transitions. We attribute this limitation to ReAct-style prompting, which passively accumulates per-step records, leading to prompt explosion and dilution of critical cross-app facts. To address this, we introduce MemGUI-Agent, an end-to-end long-horizon mobile GUI agent with proactive context management. MemGUI-Agent is built on Context-as-Action (ConAct), which casts context management as first-class actions emitted by the same policy that selects UI actions. Instead of passively appending history, ConAct maintains three structured context fields: folded action history, folded UI state, and recent step record, preserving critical UI facts while keeping context compact. To make proactive context management learnable across model scales, we construct MemGUI-3K, a 2,956-trajectory dataset with full ConAct annotations for supervised training and offline analysis. Training an 8B model on MemGUI-3K produces MemGUI-8B-SFT, an 8B MemGUI-Agent that achieves the best open-data 8B performance on MemGUI-Bench and generalizes to the out-of-distribution MobileWorld benchmark. Code, data, and trained models will be released at https://memgui-agent.github.io/.

The paper introduces GUI-Owl-1.5, the latest native GUI agent model that features instruct/thinking variants in multiple sizes (2B/4B/8B/32B/235B) and supports a range of platforms (desktop, mobile, browser, and more) to enable cloud-edge collaboration and real-time interaction. GUI-Owl-1.5 achieves state-of-the-art results on more than 20+ GUI benchmarks on open-source models: (1) on GUI automation tasks, it obtains 56.5 on OSWorld, 71.6 on AndroidWorld, and 48.4 on WebArena; (2) on grounding tasks, it obtains 80.3 on ScreenSpotPro; (3) on tool-calling tasks, it obtains 47.6 on OSWorld-MCP, and 46.8 on MobileWorld; (4) on memory and knowledge tasks, it obtains 75.5 on GUI-Knowledge Bench. GUI-Owl-1.5 incorporates several key innovations: (1) Hybird Data Flywheel: we construct the data pipeline for UI understanding and trajectory generation based on a combination of simulated environments and cloud-based sandbox environments, in order to improve the efficiency and quality of data collection. (2) Unified Enhancement of Agent Capabilities: we use a unified thought-synthesis pipeline to enhance the model's reasoning capabilities, while placing particular emphasis on improving key agent abilities, including Tool/MCP use, memory and multi-agent adaptation; (3) Multi-platform Environment RL Scaling: We propose a new environment RL algorithm, MRPO, to address the challenges of multi-platform conflicts and the low training efficiency of long-horizon tasks. The GUI-Owl-1.5 models are open-sourced, and an online cloud-sandbox demo is available at https://github.com/X-PLUG/MobileAgent.
