TLDR
Ponder & Press is a pure-vision divide-and-conquer GUI-control framework that separates high-level instruction interpretation from element localization. It pairs a general-purpose MLLM interpreter with a GUI-specific locator, improves ScreenSpot grounding by 22.5%, and reports strong performance across web, desktop, and mobile GUI benchmarks.
