    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements a multimodal agent that automates GUI interactions using vision-language models and native agents for diverse virtual environments.
    • Delivers state-of-the-art reasoning and action execution in GUI tasks by integrating reinforcement learning and inference-time scaling.
    • Use for automating desktop GUI workflows including mouse, keyboard, and application control on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
    • Use for controlling mobile device interfaces and Android emulators with mobile-specific actions like long press and app navigation.
    • Use for research and evaluation of multimodal interaction systems focusing on action grounding without reasoning outputs.

    We also offer a UI-TARS-desktop version, which can operate on your local personal device. To use it, please visit https://github.com/bytedance/UI-TARS-desktop. To use UI-TARS in web automation, you may refer to the open-source project Midscene.js. ❗Notes: Since Qwen 2.5vl based models ultilizes absolute coordinates to ground objects, please kindly refer to our illustration about how to process coordinates in this guide.

    UI-TARS-1.5, an open-source multimodal agent built upon a powerful vision-language model. It is capable of effectively performing diverse tasks within virtual worlds.

    Leveraging the foundational architecture introduced in our recent paper, UI-TARS-1.5 integrates advanced reasoning enabled by reinforcement learning. This allows the model to reason through its thoughts before taking action, significantly enhancing its performance and adaptability, particularly in inference-time scaling. Our new 1.5 version achieves state-of-the-art results across a variety of standard benchmarks, demonstrating strong reasoning capabilities and notable improvements over prior models.
