Learning Python at the beginning feels deceptively simple. You write a few lines, the code runs, and it’s tempting to think you’ve got it. Then you try to build something on your own and… nothing works!? Turns out all the information you had learnt, didn’t find an outlet. That’s where challenging p...
arXiv:2601.02433v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Digital AI systems spanning large language models, vision models, and generative architectures that operate primarily in symbolic, linguistic, or pixel domains. They have achieved striking progress, but almost all of this progress lives in virtual spa...
WebGym: Scaling Training Environments for Visual Web Agents with Realistic Tasks
arXiv:2601.02439v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present WebGym, the largest-to-date open-source environment for training realistic visual web agents. Real websites are non-stationary and diverse, making artificial or small-scale task sets insufficient for robust policy learning. WebGym contains ...
