Scaling, Benchmarking, and Reasoning of Vision-Language Agents for Mobile GUI Navigation

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown rapid progress in mobile GUI navigation. This paper presents a systematic study of data scaling, benchmarking, and reasoning for VLM-based agents in this domain. To facilitate rigorous evaluation, we introduce HyperTrack, a large-scale dataset with over 16000 real-world tasks across more than 650 Chinese mobile applications, along with GUIEvalKit, an open-source toolkit for unified benchmarking of VLMs on offline GUI navigation tasks. Using HyperTrack, we analyze the effects of training data scale on both supervised and reinforcement-based finetuning. Our results show that reinforcement-based finetuning consistently outperforms supervised finetuning, particularly in out-of-domain settings, highlighting the synergy between data scaling and reinforcement learning. Leveraging GUIEvalKit, we further benchmark state-of-the-art (SOTA) VLMs and analyze how interaction history and reasoning capabilities influence task completion. Together, HyperTrack and GUIEvalKit provide a comprehensive platform for developing and evaluating VLM agents in mobile GUI navigation tasks.
