ActIO-UI: Vision-Language Models for GUI Subtasks

Introduction

ActIO-UI-7B-RLVR is a model trained for web GUI subtask execution. We introduce it in the paper WARC-Bench: Web Archive based Benchmark for GUI Subtask Executions. Its base model is Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct. We define a GUI subtask as a short-horizon web interaction task that correspond to simple natural language instructions within a larger web browsing workflow. Some examples of subtasks include choosing the correct date in a date picker or scrolling in a container to extract information. ActIO-UI-7B-RLVR achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) results for open-source models on WARC-Bench, our GUI subtask benchmark. It also exhibits improved long-horizon GUI task and grounding capabilities when compared with its base model. We provide a performance summary of the ActIO-UI model family below.

Model Family

  • ActIO-UI-7B-SFT: a 7B model trained with supervised finetuning (SFT) using distilled subtask data.
  • ActIO-UI-7B-RLVR: a 7B model trained with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) over the ActIO-UI-7B-SFT checkpoint.
  • ActIO-UI-72B-SFT: a 72B model trained with SFT using distilled subtask data.
  • ActIO-UI-72B-RLVR: a 72B model trained with RLVR over the ActIO-UI-72B-SFT checkpoint.

Performance

GUI Subtask (WARC-Bench)

ActIO-UI models are specifically trained to solve GUI subtask problems. Both the 7B and 72B ActIO-UI RLVR models achieves SOTA performance for their respective sub-categories of 7B or 72B open-source models.

Trajectory-level success rates on WARC-Bench. Small VLMs (7B params) are grouped under โ€œOpen-source โ€” Smallโ€. Results are divided into closed (top) vs. open-source (bottom). CUA = evaluated with providerโ€™s computer-use agent; others use our Subtask Vision Agent (SVA) design. Rows marked with * denote averages across fewer than 3 runs; all others are averages of 3 runs. Bold = best per benchmark. Underline = best inside its sector (closed; open-source small; open-source large).

Other Benchmarks

To access generalizability of GUI subtask execution as a model capability, we compare the performance of ActIO-UI over GUI subtasks (WARC-Bench), long-horizon tasks (WebArena), short-horizon tasks (Miniwob++), and GUI visual grounding (ScreenSpot V2). Without access to any long-horizon and grounding data in its training dataset, our models show improved performance over their base models (except for the grounding performance when compared to Qwen 2.5 VL 72B).

Each number is an average of 3 runs. Bold = best per benchmark. We omit the OpenStreetMap portion of the WebArena benchmark due to technical difficulties with the online map service. For Screenspot V2, we limit the agent action space to \texttt{click(...)} only. For each evaluation, we use the same prompt format built inside our Subtask Vision Agent
