HybridCUA: Learning to Orchestrate GUI and CLI for Computer-Use Agents
Summary
The paper introduces HybridCUA, a framework that trains computer-use agents to interleave GUI actions with command‑line commands. Using a new 5 K hybrid trajectory dataset and CLI‑aware RL rewards, the 9 B‑parameter model improves OSWorld accuracy by 14.8 pts and shows gains on WindowsAgentArena.
- HybridCUA dataset contains 5K hybrid GUI/CLI trajectories and 3K verified RLVR tasks.
- Training combines supervised fine‑tuning on hybrid trajectories with RL using CLI‑aware rewards.
- HybridCUA‑9B reaches 53.6% accuracy on OSWorld, a 14.8‑point gain over the base model.
- Performance also improves by 4.0 points on WindowsAgentArena, showing cross‑platform benefits.
Developers of autonomous desktop agents can adopt the hybrid GUI/CLI approach to boost efficiency and reliability across platforms.
