GUICrafter: Weakly-Supervised GUI Agent Leveraging Massive Unannotated Screenshots
Data, as the fundamental substrate of modern intelligence, has greatly driven the development of current foundation models. Naturally, researchers aim to extend this paradigm to the domain of GUI agents, hoping to build strong GUI agents through a similar paradigm. However, GUI agent data cannot be directly harvested from the internet, making it costly and difficult to collect at scale. As a result, current GUI agents suffer from poor cross-device generalization and limited visual grounding ability for fine-grained GUI elements. As an attempt to address data challenge in GUI agents, we propose GUICrafter, a weakly-supervised GUI agent leveraging massive unannotated screenshots to substantially reduce the reliance on expensive human annotations. GUICrafter explores a curriculum learning framework for training GUI agents through two progressive stages. First, the model learns visual grounding from large-scale unannotated screenshots and webpages, leveraging the rich contextual signals inherent in GUI interactions without human annotations. Then, in Stage 2, we leverage a small amount of high-quality data to calibrate the model via reinforcement learning. Experiments show that GUICrafter achieves competitive, or even superior, performance to advanced systems like UI-TARS while using only 0.1% of its data. Furthermore, under the same amount of annotated data, GUICrafter surpasses all previous methods such as GUI-R1. Code, data, and models are available at https://github.com/fansunqi/GUICrafter.
Skin Tokens: A Learned Compact Representation for Unified Autoregressive Rigging
The rapid proliferation of generative 3D models has created a critical bottleneck in animation pipelines: rigging. Existing automated methods are fundamentally limited by their approach to skinning, treating it as an ill-posed, high-dimensional regression task that is inefficient to optimize and is typically decoupled from skeleton generation. We posit this is a representation problem and introduce SkinTokens: a learned, compact, and discrete representation for skinning weights. By leveraging an FSQ-CVAE to capture the intrinsic sparsity of skinning, we reframe the task from continuous regression to a more tractable token sequence prediction problem. This representation enables TokenRig, a unified autoregressive framework that models the entire rig as a single sequence of skeletal parameters and SkinTokens, learning the complicated dependencies between skeletons and skin deformations. The unified model is then amenable to a reinforcement learning stage, where tailored geometric and semantic rewards improve generalization to complex, out-of-distribution assets. Quantitatively, the SkinTokens representation leads to a 98%-133% percents improvement in skinning accuracy over state-of-the-art methods, while the full TokenRig framework, refined with RL, enhances bone prediction by 17%-22%. Our work presents a unified, generative approach to rigging that yields higher fidelity and robustness, offering a scalable solution to a long-standing challenge in 3D content creation.
