JarvisGUI: Towards Cross-Device GUI Agents with Dynamic Task Composition

Existing benchmarks have been letting agents look better than they actually are by testing only single-device tasks. Cross-device workflows are where real automation fails: state transfer, platform switching, context maintenance. If you're building an AI assistant product that needs to actually work in the real world, this paper exposes where your agent will struggle. The benchmark itself is useful, but the finding is more important than the tool.

CUA-Universe: A Scalable and Dynamic Environment for Hybrid GUI+CLI Agents

This closes a real gap. Current agent benchmarks reward GUI-only behavior, which is fine for toy environments but useless for real computer work. The hybrid modality is where the actual value is. If you're building agents that need to scale beyond click-and-wait, this environment will matter. It's not a model release or capability breakthrough, but it's the right scaffolding for the next wave of agent research.
