Abstract

The rise of autonomous GUI agents has triggered adversarial countermeasures from digital platforms, yet existing research prioritizes utility and robustness over the critical dimension of anti-detection. We argue that for agents to survive in human-centric ecosystems, they must evolve Humanization capabilities. We introduce the ``Turing Test on Screen,'' formally modeling the interaction as a MinMax optimization problem between a detector and an agent aiming to minimize behavioral divergence. We then collect a new high-fidelity dataset of mobile touch dynamics, and conduct our analysis that vanilla LMM-based agents are easily detectable due to unnatural kinematics. Consequently, we establish the Agent Humanization Benchmark (AHB) and detection metrics to quantify the trade-off between imitability and utility. Finally, we propose methods ranging from heuristic noise to data-driven behavioral matching, demonstrating that agents can achieve high imitability theoretically and empirically without sacrificing performance. This work shifts the paradigm from whether an agent can perform a task to how it performs it within a human-centric ecosystem, laying the groundwork for seamless coexistence in adversarial digital environments.

Benchmarking Living-Screen-Native GUI Agents on Short-Video Platforms

GUI agents today assume a static screen, where the world is frozen between two actions. However, real interfaces such as short-video applications violate this assumption, as their content keeps playing, and a competent user must decide what to watch and for how long. We formalize this task as Living-Screen-Native GUI agents and introduce LivingScreen, the first benchmark instantiating it on short-video platforms, with a faithful browser-based environment, a three-tier task suite, and metrics that jointly score accuracy and information efficiency. Evaluating extensive frontier models, we find that none reaches the human cost-accuracy performance, and that their dominant failure mode is over- and under-observation, pointing to observation control as a missing capability axis for future GUI agents. All data and code will be available at https://github.com/BITHLP/LivingScreen.

HyMobileAgent: Data-Environment Co-Scaling for Efficient GUI Agents

As large multimodal models move from understanding content to operating on digital environments, mobile GUI has emerged as a challenging and consequential testbed for digital embodied intelligence. Mobile agents operate under three coupled constraints: precise perception of complex interfaces, scalable acquisition of high-quality interaction data, and robust long-horizon decision making under compounding execution errors. This report presents HyMobileAgent, a mobile GUI agent built on Hy3.0-VL-A3B, a vision-native foundation model featuring native any-resolution input, an A3B-scale deployment budget, and a 32K context window to model extended interaction histories. Rather than relying solely on model scaling, we develop a joint data and environment centric scaling framework to address the key bottlenecks of mobile interaction. Our framework integrates a GUI perception flywheel combining mock-interface synthesis, rejection sampling, and icon-specific augmentation; a knowledge pipeline that transforms tutorial videos into structured interaction data; a million-scale action data pipeline deployed across more than 2000 sandbox and real-device instances with automated failure attribution; the PhoneWorld Mock App Factory, providing a resettable training environment with 34 mock applications and over 34000 tasks; and a structured Planning-and-Reflection mechanism with explicit dead-loop detection for reliable long-horizon execution. We also introduce a progressive training recipe consisting of mid-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning with task-specific reward designs.

Are Android GUI Agents Robust Against Runtime Anomalies? AnTrap: Evaluating Agents in Dynamic Adversarial Environments

GUI agents often encounter dynamic anomalies when deployed on Android devices, from unexpected pop-ups to action misuse, yet existing benchmarks lack systematic evaluation of agent robustness against runtime anomalies. We introduce AnTrap, a comprehensive benchmark that injects dynamic perturbations into agent execution trajectories. We propose a taxonomy organizing real-world anomalies into four layers (State, Thinking, Action and Round) with ten fine-grained subcategories, and develop a construction pipeline that preserves task solvability while introducing realistic adversarial conditions. Evaluating 16 leading GUI models, we reveal universal vulnerability to dynamic anomalies, with even the strongest models suffering significant performance degradation. Furthermore, we conduct GRPO training in both original and adversarial environments to validate our benchmark, separating environment-learnable anomalies from reasoning-bottlenecked ones. Our findings show that while single-step traps at state and action layers are largely addressable through adversarial reinforcement learning, deep contextual traps, like state deadlock, expose intrinsic limitations that cannot be resolved by training in environments with traps alone.
