OS-Themis: Scalable Critic for GUI Agent Rewards
Story
OS-Themis generates structured critiques of GUI agent trajectories rather than binary pass/fail signals, enabling gradient-rich RL training feedback across stochastic environments. Core enabler for next-generation computer-use agents that learn from interaction rather than requiring handcrafted demonstrations.
