TLDR
ExACT combines Reflective-MCTS test-time search with Exploratory Learning to teach web agents to explore, evaluate states, and backtrack. On VisualWebArena, the GPT-4o-based search agent improves substantially over prior methods, and the fine-tuned model recovers 87% of the search agent's performance while using much less inference compute.
