arXiv:2606.11078v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Various test-time interventions for Computer Use Agents (CUAs), including critic models, have been developed to improve performance through pre-execution action evaluation in complex Graphical User Interface (GUI) environments. However, existing critics suffer from two key limitations: they (1) focus primarily on short-sighted decision loops (e.g., forgetting earlier actions) and (2) lack the visual grounding needed to detect flawed actions (e.g., clicking wrong UI elements). To address these, we introduce HiViG, a History-aware Visually Ground
The proliferation of complex GUI environments and the increasing ambition for autonomous agents necessitate more robust and context-aware pre-execution evaluation methods.
Improved critic models for Computer Use Agents will enhance the reliability and effectiveness of autonomous systems interacting with software, accelerating their deployment in enterprise and consumer applications.
Agents will be able to perform tasks more accurately and with less need for human oversight by understanding past actions and visual cues when evaluating planned steps.

- · Early-stage, less sophisticated CUA solutions
CUAs become more capable and reliable across a wider range of applications, reducing errors and increasing adoption.
This leads to an acceleration in the 'collapse' of white-collar workflows, as agents can handle more complex, multi-step tasks autonomously.
The enhanced capability of CUAs contributes to a broader societal shift towards human-machine teaming across various industries, reshaping job roles and operational paradigms.
