UI-Venus-2 addresses the critical bottleneck of transitioning GUI agents from isolated benchmarks to robust, real-world automation by scaling environment coverage and implementing rigorous verification mechanisms. Its unified closed-loop framework across mobile, web, and desktop environments offers a significant step toward generalizable digital task execution with built-in safety controls. This work represents a foundational advance in making multimodal agents dependable for practical deployment rather than just theoretical performance.
UI-Venus-2 Technical Report
arXiv:2609.00028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal GUI agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for digital task automation, yet transitioning from benchmark-oriented models to dependable real-world applications remains challenging due to limited environment coverage, brittle task construction, and unreliable reward verification. In this work, we present UI-Venus-2, a general-purpose foundation GUI agent designed to operate across mobile, web, and desktop environments through a unified closed-loop reasoning-action framework. To bridge the gap toward practical deployment, we jointly scale three critical dimensions: (1) Environments, expanding coverage to more than 170 multilingual mobile apps and native desktop operating systems; (2) Tasks, employing a deep-research pipeline for function-grounded instruction generation; and (3) Verification, adopting trace-level and sample-level evaluators with visual keypoints and multi-model voting to ensure reliable RL signals for training. Furthermore, we integrate safety-aware mechanisms to ensure controlled execution of consequential actions. By offering a capable, efficient, and open-source foundation, UI-Venus-2 advances the field toward more generalizable, verifiable, and self-reflective agents for real-world applications.
