Architecture-Sensitive Supervised Fine-Tuning for Screen-Conditioned Action Prediction: A PiSAR Benchmark

arXiv:2605.29400v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We benchmark three supervised fine-tuned models against frontier zero-shot baselines on a 661-row held-out slice of PiSAR (Persona, intent, Screen, Action, Rationale), a 12,929-tuple corpus of screen-anchored behavioural rationales curated from public app-store reviews, Pew American Trends Panel demographics, and the OPeRA shopper traces. Every model, frontier or fine-tuned, is evaluated on the same 661-row slice with the same scoring pipeline. Two findings. First, frontier zero-shot baselines (Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5) reach sem_sim 0.459 and

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in AI model capabilities and the increasing need for robust benchmarks for agentic systems mean that fine-tuned models are under constant scrutiny and development.

Why it’s important

This benchmark highlights the crucial role of architecture-sensitive supervised fine-tuning in achieving superior performance for screen-conditioned action prediction, which is central to building advanced AI agents.

What changes

The research suggests that fine-tuned models, even with smaller datasets, can outperform frontier zero-shot baselines for specific, complex tasks, shifting focus towards targeted model optimization.
