| Challenge: | Recent success in large multimodal models (LMMs) has sparked promising applications of agents capable of autonomously completing complex web tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a scalable recipe to synthesize the largest and most diverse trajectory-level dataset to date. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model synthesizes the largest and most diverse trajectory-level dataset to date, with 94K successful multimodal web trajectories, 720K screenshots, and 33M web elements. |

Botao Yu, Frazier N. Baker, Ziru Chen, Garrett Herb, Boyu Gou, Daniel Adu-Ampratwum, Xia Ning, Huan Sun
| Challenge: | Existing evaluations of large language models (LLMs) with tools are limited and qualitative . existing evaluations have been limited and only focus on 14 tasks focusing on compound synthesis. |
| Approach: | They propose to develop an enhanced chemistry agent over ChemCrow to improve chemistry problem solving by integrating tools into LLMs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed agent does not consistently outperform its base LLMs without tools on specialized chemistry tasks and general chemistry questions. |
WebOlympus: An Open Platform for Web Agents on Live Websites (2024.emnlp-demo)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Web agents are emerging as powerful tools for automating tasks in cyberspace . however, there is a lack of standardized and user-friendly tools for research and development . |
| Approach: | They propose an open platform for web agents operating on live websites with a Chrome extension and a safety monitor module to ensure their trustworthiness. |
| Outcome: | WebOlympus is an open platform for web agents operating on live websites. |
