MASSIVE Step Allowing AI Agents To Control Computers (MacOS, Windows, Linux)
AI Summary
Summary: OS World Project for AI Agent Benchmarking
- Introduction
- AI agents face challenges in testing and improvement due to lack of consistent benchmarking.
- OS World project aims to solve benchmarking issues for AI agents.
- The project is open-source, including research papers, code, and data.
- Research and Collaboration
- Paper titled “OSOR Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Open-Ended Tasks in Real Computer Environments.”
- Collaboration between University of Hong Kong, CMU, Salesforce Research, and University of Waterloo.
- Presentation by Tal U from the University of Hong Kong explains the project.
- The Problem with AI Agents
- Difficulty in benchmarking AI agents to perform tasks in various environments.
- Current methods using screenshots and grids are imprecise.
- AI agents lack grounding to execute tasks based on instructions.
- Digital Task Execution
- AI agents need grounding to translate instructions into actions.
- ChatGPT can provide instructions but cannot execute tasks or interact with real-world environments.
- Intelligent Agents
- Defined as entities that perceive their environment and act rationally upon it.
- Agents should be autonomous, reactive, proactive, and interactive.
- OS World Solution
- Provides a scalable real computer environment for agents to operate across operating systems and applications.
- Offers a grounding layer for agents to interact with the environment.
- Agent Task Evaluation
- Tasks are formalized as primarily observable Markov decision processes.
- Evaluation includes checking if tasks are completed correctly.
- OS World Features
- 369 real-world computer tasks created for evaluation.
- Tasks involve web and desktop apps, file operations, and multi-app workflows.
- Agent Testing
- Tested agents include Cog, GPT-4, Gemini Pro, and Cloud 3.
- Input settings include accessibility tree, screenshots, and set of marks.
- Results
- GPT-4 generally performed best, especially with accessibility tree inputs.
- Higher screenshot resolution improved performance.
- Conclusion
- OS World enables effective benchmarking and testing for AI agents.
- Open-source availability allows for community engagement and development.
