in case u don't know, i set up a small team for robotics and embodied ai inside qwen. multimodal foundation models are now being transformed to foundation agents that can leverage tools and memory to perform long-horizon reasoning thanks to reinforcement learning. they should definitely step from virtual world to physical world!

Scalable data is always the key to generalization. Simulation is absolutely much more scalable than real world. So what's next😎
Stone Tao@Stone_Tao

interesting perspective here from @svlevine on how to use other sources of data like synthetic sim data (contrasts a bit with his previous blog post). He argues here that in order to best leverage synthetic data (like LLMs have done) you need a strong enough base model trained on real data. The claim is LLMs can soak up synthetic data well because they developed strong priors from real data. Hence, it seems robotics may follow the same trend. I’ve often argued the reverse was something reasonable, get a strong enough base model in sim then work on real data. While this seems unnatural (certainly humans don’t do this), it might be the more practical approach in some use cases. Finetuning with sim data (eg RLVF for robotics) could also serve to be a practical thing to do in situations when it’s difficult to collect that data (eg highly dexterous tasks solved very fast, hard to teleoperate tasks that are underrepresented in the real dataset)

Despite having 873 stars on GitHub, BrowserGym's core library is installed 2610335 times a month on PyPI. The impact of the library on web agent research is severely underestimated & underappreciated.

🤖 If you want to evaluate your CUA on a real and challenging benchmark, definitely check out the updated OSWorld-Verified which provides more convincing results and easier evaluation. Also, we can get more valuable insights from the evaluation results.
Tianbao Xie@TianbaoX

🚀 OSWorld gets a major upgrade! OSWorld-Verified: 15 months community feedback → 300+ fixes (ambiguity, graders…), 50x faster eval through AWS parallelization More apple-to-apple comparison for reliable CUA evaluation ✨ 👇xlang.ai/blog/osworld-v…

✨(3/n) cont'd 2. Prompting is cheap but also has its upper bound, e.g. we found that although experiences provide some insights, the model sticks to its own thoughts sometimes. How to turn such NL experiences into parameter change efficiently could be an important direction.

✨(2/n) key takeaways from this work: 1.Learning from past experiences is obviously important for self-improvement and efficient domain adaptation for agents. We show that prompting-based experience distillation and utilization is efficient for web agents (15%△tokens→50% △SR)

>>> Qwen3-Coder is here! ✅ We’re releasing Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct, our most powerful open agentic code model to date. This 480B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (35B active) natively supports 256K context and scales to 1M context with extrapolation. It achieves top-tier performance across multiple agentic coding benchmarks among open models, including SWE-bench-Verified!!! 🚀 Alongside the model, we're also open-sourcing a command-line tool for agentic coding: Qwen Code. Forked from Gemini Code, it includes custom prompts and function call protocols to fully unlock Qwen3-Coder’s capabilities. Qwen3-Coder works seamlessly with the community’s best developer tools. As a foundation model, we hope it can be used anywhere across the digital world — Agentic Coding in the World! 💬 Chat: chat.qwen.ai 📚 Blog: qwenlm.github.io/blog/qwen3-cod… 🤗 Model: hf.co/Qwen/Qwen3-Cod… 🤖 Qwen Code: github.com/QwenLM/qwen-co…

🎮 Computer Use Agent Arena is LIVE! 🚀 🔥 Easiest way to test computer-use agents in the wild without any setup 🌟 Compare top VLMs: OpenAI Operator, Claude 3.7, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Qwen 2.5 vl and more 🕹️ Test agents on 100+ real apps & webs with one-click config 🔒 Safe & free access on cloud-hosted machines Page: arena.xlang.ai Leaderboard (tentative): arena.xlang.ai/leaderboard Blog: arena.xlang.ai/blog/computer-… Data & Code (coming soon): github.com/xlang-ai/compu… ⭐️Why Computer Agent Arena? 1️⃣Beyond Static Benchmarks: We use computers to perform enormous tasks and workflows every day, and AI agents have the potential to automate these tasks. However, existing benchmarks are very limited (e.g., only 369 tasks in OSWorld and 812 tasks in WebArena). To better measure their capabilities, we introduce Computer Agent Arena for users to easily compare & test AI agents on all kinds of crowdsourced real-world computer use tasks. 2️⃣Cloud Testing, Simplified: As agents like OpenAI’s Operator and Claude 3.7 sonnet release, users face configuration challenges and privacy hurdles to deploy on their own computers. Our platform integrates these agents with cloud-hosted machines, providing users with quick and secure access. 3️⃣Unified Embodied Digital Environment: Unlike Chatbot Arena, we provide users with a real embodied environment—computers—where all agents are grounded in real computer tasks and environments.

What happens when humans can’t reliably supervise LLMs during RLHF? In a new paper, we find that unreliable supervision can cause DPO to fail completely. Instead of DPO/RLHF, we propose using human feedback to update the *SFT dataset* and show this works much better! 🧵
