TeleTune: Evolving Agent Skills From Offline Telemetry

Abstract

Computer-use agents need to capture procedural knowledge of how people use software. User telemetry offers a scalable source of this knowledge. However, learning reusable skills from these logs requires addressing three challenges: (1) Goal Underspecification, since logs do not record the goal behind each action; (2) Non-Replayability, since past activity cannot be replayed to evaluate skill updates; and (3) Interleaved Trajectories, since logs may mix several tasks without marking their boundaries. To address these, we introduce TeleTune, a framework for learning a textual skill library from offline logs without recorded goals, cannot be replayed during optimization, and may interleave tasks. TeleTune uses action-prediction errors on logged trajectories to propose library edits and keep only those that improve held-out action-prediction accuracy, which we call skill-guided progress. The learned workflows also enable retrieval of demonstrations that cover the subgoals of a new task. At test time, the agent is provided with the learned library and the workflow-based retrieved demonstrations. Experiments on WorkArena and Online-Mind2Web show that TeleTune outperforms random retrieval, Agent Workflow Memory (AWM), and their combination. We find that the best baseline varies by setting, whereas TeleTune achieves average success rates of 77.1% and 80.6%, respectively, improving over the strongest baseline on each benchmark by 6.7% and 7.7%. Under the heaviest perturbation of the WorkArena training data,TeleTune keeps the highest average success rate at 68.5%, 6.3% above the strongest baseline. Our analyses show (1) skill optimization and workflow-based retrieval are complementary, (2) optimizing on fixed logs costs 5 to 75 times fewer tokens than validating the same edits with live episodes, (3) skill-guided progress tracks the live success rate.

Answer Set Networks: Casting Answer Set Programming into Deep Learning

Although Answer Set Programming (ASP) allows constraining neural-symbolic (NeSy) systems, its employment is hindered by the prohibitive costs of computing stable models and the CPU-bound nature of state-of-the-art solvers. To this end, we propose Answer Set Networks (ASN), a NeSy solver. Based on Graph Neural Networks (GNN), ASNs are a scalable approach to ASP-based Deep Probabilistic Logic Programming (DPPL). Specifically, we show how to translate ASPs into ASNs and demonstrate how ASNs can efficiently solve the encoded problem by leveraging GPU's batching and parallelization capabilities. Our experimental evaluations demonstrate that ASNs outperform state-of-the-art CPU-bound NeSy systems on multiple tasks. Simultaneously, we make the following two contributions based on the strengths of ASNs. Namely, we are the first to show the finetuning of Large Language Models (LLM) with DPPLs, employing ASNs to guide the training with logic. Further, we show the "constitutional navigation" of drones, i.e., encoding public aviation laws in an ASN for routing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in uncertain environments.

Towards LLM Agents for Earth Observation

Earth Observation (EO) provides critical planetary data for environmental monitoring, disaster management, climate science, and other scientific domains. In this work we ask: Are AI systems ready for reliable Earth Observation? To answer this, we introduce UnivEARTH, a coding benchmark of 408 yes/no questions from NASA Earth Observatory articles across 7 various topics and over 15 satellite instruments and sources. Using Google Earth Engine API as a tool in a zero-shot setup, LLM agents achieve an accuracy of 40.0% where the code fails to run over 44% of the time. To better understand LLM agent behavior, we also analyze the impact of using the JavaScript API versus Python and the effect of providing documentation. Furthermore, we find that using a Reflexion framework significantly reduces errors: Claude-4.5-Sonnet, Gemini-2.5-Pro, and GPT-5 accuracies rise to around 60%. However, these results remain only marginally above random chance. Taken together, our findings identify significant challenges to be solved before AI agents can automate earth observation, and suggest paths forward.

OpenPhone: Mobile Agentic Foundation Models

With the advancement of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), building GUI agent systems has become an increasingly promising direction--especially for mobile platforms, given their rich app ecosystems and intuitive touch interactions. Yet mobile GUI agents face a critical dilemma: truly on-device models (4B or smaller) lack sufficient performance, while capable models (starting from 7B) are either too large for mobile deployment or prohibitively costly (e.g., cloud-only closed-source MLLMs). To resolve this, we propose OpenPhone, a mobile GUI agent system that leverages device-cloud collaboration to tap the cost-efficiency of on device models and the high capability of cloud models, while avoiding their drawbacks. Specifically, OpenPhone enhances Qwen2.5-VL-3B via two-stage SFT->GRPO training on synthetic GUI data for strong decision-making, integrates an efficient long-reasoning and memory management mechanism to utilize historical interactions under tight resources, and defaults to on-device execution--only escalating challenging subtasks to the cloud via real-time complexity assessment. Experiments on the online AndroidLab benchmark and diverse apps show OpenPhone matches or nears larger models, with a significant reduction in cloud costs.
