Agent World Model in the Wild: Computer-Use Agent Environment Synthesis

We therefore propose Agent World Model in the Wild (WildAWM), a scalable pipeline for synthesizing controllable environments and tasks for training general computer-use agents (CUAs).

Key points

  • Agent learning is shifting from learning from human data toward learning through interaction with the world.
  • However, scaling such learning directly in real-world computer systems is challenging and can introduce substantial security risks.
  • Whereas existing approaches typically specialize in a single agent interaction interface, we construct executable environments that jointly support graphical user interfaces, model context protocol services, and command-line interfaces, allowing agents to flexibly combine visual interaction, tool use, and code execution.
  • Beyond environments, we address three recurring challenges in task synthesis: ensuring solvability, maintaining sufficient difficulty, and producing reliable verifiers, by introducing execution-based quality gates that combine heterogeneous agent rollouts, cross-judge consistency checks, and counterfactual probes of judgment robustness.
