New method boosts small LLM planning for GUI agents

Researchers have developed a new method called PEEU (Planning Experience Exploration and Utilization) to enhance the task planning capabilities of small, open-source multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for GUI agents. This approach addresses the limitations of these models in planning and cross-website generalization by autonomously exploring environments to gather experiences and using hindsight to create high-level training data. Experiments show that PEEU significantly improves performance, with a 7B model achieving 30.6% accuracy, surpassing the larger Qwen2.5-VL-32B model and demonstrating the importance of hindsight high-level task construction for out-of-distribution planning.
