How well do today’s frontier models handle long-horizon, multi-step web agent tasks, such as identifying the top 25 U.S. CS PhD programs with ML/AI faculty likely accepting students and compiling the results into a structured sheet? Check out our new work on Odysseys: Benchmarking Web Agents on Realistic Long...

🚀Introducing VisualWebBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Multimodal Web Page Understanding and Grounding. 🤔What's this all about? Why this benchmark? > Back in Nov 2023, when we released MMMU ( a comprehensive multimodal understanding benchmark, we received feedback that it included very few UI screenshots. Considering the growing importance of UI understanding, especially with the rise of powerful agents like Devin ( which is built on the strong vision capability of #GPT4, we recognized the need for a benchmark focused on UI screenshot understanding.📸👀 > Multimodal #LLMs have significantly boosted web agents' performance on benchmarks like Mind2Web and WebArena. For instance, the SeeAct agent ( showcases the power of integrating vision into web agents. However, these benchmarks primarily evaluate the end-to-end task execution ability of web agents rather than their understanding of web pages. 🌉 Bridging the Gap with VisualWebBench > To provide a comprehensive evaluation of multimodal LLMs' web page understanding capabilities, we introduce VisualWebBench. Our benchmark spans 139 websites 🌐 across 12 domains 🏷️ and 87 sub-domains 🔍, ensuring a diverse and representative dataset. It assesses MLLMs at three levels: website-level, element-level, and action-level 📊, and encompasses seven tasks designed to evaluate understanding, OCR, grounding, and reasoning abilities 🧠💡. 😮 Surprising Findings > 🎉 Open-source models are catching up: Even though closed-source MLLMs are still leading the leaderboard, we are happy to see open-source models like LLaVA 1.6 34B achieve comparable performance to Gemini Pro. > 🧠 Grounding ability, crucial for developing MLLM-based web applications, is a weakness for most MLLMs. > 🖼️ Importance of Image Resolution: The limited image resolution handling capabilities of most open-source MLLMs restrict their utility in web scenarios, where rich text and elements are prevalent. > 🧱 Relatively strong correlation with general understanding benchmarks like MMMU but weak correlation with web agent benchmarks like Mind2Web. Web agent benchmarks primarily evaluate the end-to-end task execution ability of web agents, which involves a series of actions to accomplish a goal. In contrast, VisualWebBench emphasizes evaluating the foundational skills of MLLMs such as understanding and grounding web page elements. 💡Fun Fact > Claude Sonnet is better than Opus on our benchmark :) 🎓 Conclusion > VisualWebBench serves as a valuable resource for the community, driving research and development in the field of multimodal web page understanding and grounding. As MLLMs continue to evolve and improve, we look forward to seeing new applications and breakthroughs. We believe that our benchmark will contribute to the development of more powerful MLLMs in the web domain, ultimately leading to a more intuitive and efficient user experience on the web. Kudos to the student leads Junpeng Liu Yifan Song and the team Bill Yuchen Lin, Wai Lam, Graham Neubig, Yuanzhi Li! 👏 Check out more details in the Junpeng's thread👇

JARVIS-1: Open-World Multi-task Agents with Memory-Augmented Multimodal Language Models paper page: Achieving human-like planning and control with multimodal observations in an open world is a key milestone for more functional generalist agents. Existing approaches can handle certain long-horizon tasks in an open world. However, they still struggle when the number of open-world tasks could potentially be infinite and lack the capability to progressively enhance task completion as game time progresses. We introduce JARVIS-1, an open-world agent that can perceive multimodal input (visual observations and human instructions), generate sophisticated plans, and perform embodied control, all within the popular yet challenging open-world Minecraft universe. Specifically, we develop JARVIS-1 on top of pre-trained multimodal language models, which map visual observations and textual instructions to plans. The plans will be ultimately dispatched to the goal-conditioned controllers. We outfit JARVIS-1 with a multimodal memory, which facilitates planning using both pre-trained knowledge and its actual game survival experiences. In our experiments, JARVIS-1 exhibits nearly perfect performances across over 200 varying tasks from the Minecraft Universe Benchmark, ranging from entry to intermediate levels. JARVIS-1 has achieved a completion rate of 12.5% in the long-horizon diamond pickaxe task. This represents a significant increase up to 5 times compared to previous records. Furthermore, we show that JARVIS-1 is able to self-improve following a life-long learning paradigm thanks to multimodal memory, sparking a more general intelligence and improved autonomy.

One of the things I’m most excited about this year is building agents that can work productively for hours, days, or weeks. Coding agents are starting to become very competent at this, but what about computer use agents? Our new benchmark, Odysseys (co-led with Lawrence Jang) is a set of 200 new tasks derived from real world browsing behavior that measure long horizon web navigation capabilities (potentially up to hours of web browsing work). Interestingly, we find that frontier CUAs are already surprisingly good at working productively for up to an hour on these tasks, but there’s a lot of work to be done in making them even more efficient. Like every other AI researcher, my real dream is to open a cafe once we solve ASI. So, here’s Opus 4.6 doing some market research for me ("I want to do market research on the most popular cafes in Singapore. Analyse the menus of the top 10 cafes in Singapore (by Google reviews/ratings), and make sure we include at least 1 from the North/South/East/West/Central regions of Singapore. Keep the relevant pages of each cafe open, and summarise their pricing, menu offerings, unique selling points, making sure to reference which tab is opened for each cafe. For each cafe, also help me figure out how long it would take to get to it from Tampines MRT, and include this in your final summary."). I was very impressed to see Opus 4.6 complete this task after working for 52 mins, satisfying all 7 rubrics that corresponded to this task. It provided a very nice markdown summary at the end that gave me all the information I asked for!
