StateAct argues computer-use agents should model program state before pixels
_akhaliq · x · 2026-07-28
This paper, StateAct: Program State, before Pixels, for Long-Horizon Computer-Use Agents, argues that code and program state should come before raw pixels when building long-horizon computer-use agents.
The posted excerpt highlights the authors’ view that program state makes many CUA tasks easier, framing the paper as a technical proposal for better agent representations and execution flow.
