5.2 Performance Comparison

Our main results are shown in Table 3. First, GPT4V outperforms previous LLMs that take groundtruth descriptions of the screens as inputs. Compared with previous text-only LLMs, taking screen images as visual inputs provides an easier way for human-model interactions. It also better preserves the screen information and avoids the information loss when converting screens to text descriptions. Additionally, adding screen descriptions still improves the performance of GPT-4V. Giving the agent access to its historical interactions is helpful for better conditioned and grounded generation, and our in-context self-summarization module provides an efficient way to achieve this. Overall, we find GPT-4V presents a strong level of screen understanding of icons and text, showing the potential of visual-based device control with LMMs.
