TLDR
Agent S2 is a compositional generalist-specialist framework that splits computer-use responsibilities across specialized and generalist models rather than using a single monolithic agent. Its core methods are Mixture-of-Grounding for precise localization and Proactive Hierarchical Planning for long-horizon control, yielding strong gains on OSWorld, WindowsAgentArena, and AndroidWorld.
