Introduces OS-Oracle, a cross-platform GUI critic framework with a 310k-sample synthetic negative-mining data pipeline, SFT plus CP-GRPO training on Qwen2.5-VL-7B, and the 738-instance human-labeled OS-Critic Bench.
Problem
Computer-using agents make step-level errors in long-horizon GUI tasks, but critic models for them lack diverse, high-quality cross-platform training data and public step-level critic benchmarks.
Approach
Synthesize type-specific hard negatives (operation failure, inefficient error recovery, mistimed termination, inaccurate localization) from positive trajectory steps, train a pointwise critic with SFT then CP-GRPO whose consistency reward ties rationale polarity to the final Yes/No judgment.
Key results
- OS-Oracle-7B reaches 68.02% overall accuracy and 72.81 F1 on OS-Critic Bench, the best among open-source models, and 70.78% accuracy on Mobile, above the proprietary models listed.
- With UI-TARS-1.5-7B as the agent, OS-Oracle-7B as pre-critic raises OSWorld success from 29.2% to 31.0%.
- CP-GRPO raises reasoning-judgment consistency from 90.51% (SFT+GRPO) to 99.59% at comparable accuracy (65.31 vs 66.12).
Surprising findings
- GPT-4o as a pre-critic degraded CUA performance in dynamic evaluation, while OS-Oracle-7B improved it.
- GPT-annotated negatives hurt over the base Qwen2.5-VL-7B (55.42 vs 58.27 accuracy), while synthetic negatives improved it to 60.03.
Limitations
- OS-Critic Bench is small (738 instances) and its actions are sampled from a single model, Qwen2.5-VL-7B.
- Consistency reward relies on a rule-based lexicon with a Qwen3-8B fallback, which may be imprecise.
- Dynamic evaluation is limited to one agent (UI-TARS-1.5-7B) and a three-retry regeneration scheme.
