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

arXiv:2609.10451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world GUI usage frequently involves workflows that span multiple devices and platforms, requiring the transfer of intermediate results, maintenance of shared state, and coordination across heterogeneous environments. However, existing GUI benchmarks overwhelmingly evaluate agents on single-device, statically defined tasks, thus leaving such cross-device capabilities largely unexamined, resulting in an overly optimistic assessment of agents' readiness for real-world usage. We introduce JarvisGUI, a dynamic benchmark that evaluates GUI agents on cross-device workflows requiring coordinated interaction across heterogeneous platforms, including Android, Windows, and Ubuntu. Specifically, JarvisGUI formulates GUI tasks as input-output transformations under a lightweight type system, which allows us to automatically compose multi-step, cross-device workflows and dynamically evaluate agent performance within a unified framework. By evaluating agents in virtual environments spanning multiple operating systems, JarvisGUI reveals that state-of-the-art open-source GUI agents struggle with the state-transfer awareness, cross-platform contextual reasoning, and long-horizon dependency management required for real-world workflows, exposing a critical capability gap invisible to existing benchmarks.

Distilling Image Prototypes for Guided Test-Time Adaptation

arXiv:2609.09737v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) enhances the robustness of models against distribution shifts but faces two critical challenges: error accumulation from noisy pseudo-labels and catastrophic forgetting of source knowledge. Uncertainty-based approaches designed to mitigate error accumulation often yield overconfident or computationally expensive estimates, while strategies intended to prevent forgetting via prototype replay rely on static representations that easily become misaligned as the model adapts. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel framework, Distilling Image Prototype for Guided Test-Time Adaptation (DIPTTA). The core of the proposed approach is the introduction of a Distill Image Prototype (DIP), a compact set of synthetic images that serves as a dynamic and regenerative anchor of source knowledge. This prototype enables a dynamic feature replay mechanism that continuously generates feature prototypes aligned with the current state of the model, thus effectively preventing catastrophic forgetting. Furthermore, the DIP anchors a source-calibrated uncertainty estimation method, which provides a less biased measure of sample reliability by leveraging stable source knowledge, thereby robustly suppressing error accumulation. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that DIPTTA significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly under severe domain shifts.
