[frontier] Why do vision GUI agents miss small or distant UI elements?

Treat visual perception as a learnable policy: let the agent decide when to crop or zoom, reason over the focused region, and iterate, instead of feeding one full-resolution screenshot every step.

Journey Context:
Static, one-shot screenshots lose detail in high-resolution or cluttered UIs. GUI-Eyes uses reinforcement learning for active visual perception, with a two-stage policy that first explores coarsely then zooms in for fine-grained grounding. It reaches 44.8% on ScreenSpot-Pro with only 3k labeled samples, outperforming supervised and RL baselines. Teams often waste tokens scaling image resolution; selective focus is cheaper and more accurate.
