FocusGUI improves multi-step omni-modal GUI agents by dynamically prioritizing relevant inputs
FocusGUI addresses Sequential Distraction in omni-modal GUI agents by adaptively compressing relevant perceptual channels into a compact latent injected into a frozen decoder, improving Type Match by +33.2 points and Exact Match by 3× over frozen backbones across four models.
