Title: Step-level Optimization for Efficient Computer-use Agents
Abstract:
arXiv:2604.27151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents provide a promising path toward general software automation because they can interact directly with arbitrary graphical user interfaces instead of relying on brittle, application-specific integrations. Despite recent advances in benchmark performance, strong computer-use agents remain expensive and slow in practice, since most systems invoke large multimodal models at nearly every interaction step. We argue that this uniform all
