Researchers have explored token pruning strategies for GUI visual agents that utilize Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Their study revealed that background regions in screenshots, often overlooked, can provide crucial auxiliary cues for reasoning about interface states. The findings suggest that random pruning can be surprisingly effective at preserving spatial structure compared to more complex methods. Additionally, agents benefit from a recency effect, performing similarly when recent screenshots are prioritized and older ones are compressed. AI
