Briefings
GroundGUI-8B, a new GUI grounding model, was trained using the ScreenRef dataset containing 586K screenshots and 633K referring expressions. It achieved 95.2% accuracy on ScreenSpot-V2 and 63.9% on ScreenSpot-Pro, outperforming many open-source models while matching closed-source performance. The model uses Distillation-to-Reinforcement Learning to improve generalization beyond supervised fine-tuning. Code and data are available via GitHub.
Key points
- GroundGUI-8B achieved 95.2% accuracy on ScreenSpot-V2 benchmark using the ScreenRef dataset.
- The model uses Distillation-to-Reinforcement Learning to improve generalization beyond supervised fine-tuning.
Context
GroundGUI-8B represents a significant advancement in GUI grounding by addressing the scarcity of high-fidelity datasets for diverse environments. The model's performance on benchmarks like ScreenSpot-V2 and OSWorld-G demonstrates its capability to handle complex visual tasks across desktop, web, and mobile domains.
Limitations
Performance metrics are limited to the specific benchmarks tested (ScreenSpot-V2, ScreenSpot-Pro, OSWorld-G, MMBench-GUI L2, UI-Vision). The dataset coverage spans desktop, web, and mobile but lacks data on specific device types or operating systems beyond the mentioned domains. Results are based on a single model version and may not reflect real-world deployment conditions.
