01 In brief

Summary

ClawGUI is an open-source framework that integrates online reinforcement learning (RL) training, standardized evaluation, and real-device deployment for GUI agents.

It addresses three gaps: closed training pipelines, misaligned evaluation protocols, and a broken deployment loop.

ClawGUI-RL provides the first open-source RL infrastructure supporting parallel virtual environments and real physical devices, integrating GiGPO with a Process Reward Model for dense step-level supervision.

ClawGUI-Eval enforces a standardized three-stage pipeline (Infer, Judge, Metric) across 6 benchmarks and 11+ models, achieving a 95.8% reproduction rate against official baselines.

ClawGUI-Agent deploys trained agents to Android, HarmonyOS, and iOS via 12+ chat platforms, using hybrid CLI-GUI control and persistent personalized memory.

Trained end-to-end, ClawGUI-2B achieves 17.1% Success Rate on MobileWorld GUI-Only, outperforming the same-scale MAI-UI-2B baseline by 6.0% and larger models like Qwen3-VL-32B (11.9%) and UI-Venus-72B (16.4%).

Replacing GRPO with GiGPO yields a 2.6% improvement (14.5% to 17.1%), confirming the value of dense credit assignment.

The framework is validated end-to-end, with all code and predictions released publicly.

Abstract

GUI agents drive applications through their visual interfaces instead of programmatic APIs, interacting with arbitrary software via taps, swipes, and keystrokes, reaching a long tail of applications that CLI-based agents cannot. Yet progress in this area is bottlenecked less by modeling capacity than by the absence of a coherent full-stack infrastructure: online RL training suffers from environment instability and closed pipelines, evaluation protocols drift silently across works, and trained agents rarely reach real users on real devices. We present \textbf{ClawGUI}, an open-source framework addressing these three gaps within a single harness. \textbf{ClawGUI-RL} provides the first open-source GUI agent RL infrastructure with validated support for both parallel virtual environments and real physical devices, integrating GiGPO with a Process Reward Model for dense step-level supervision. \textbf{ClawGUI-Eval} enforces a fully standardized evaluation pipeline across 6 benchmarks and 11+ models, achieving 95.8\% reproduction against official baselines. \textbf{ClawGUI-Agent} brings trained agents to Android, HarmonyOS, and iOS through 12+ chat platforms with hybrid CLI-GUI control and persistent personalized memory. Trained end to end within this pipeline, \textbf{ClawGUI-2B} achieves 17.1\% Success Rate on MobileWorld GUI-Only, outperforming the same-scale MAI-UI-2B baseline by 6.0\%.
