摘要

While multi-modal large language models such as GPT-5 demonstrate exceptional general understanding, they suffer from a fundamental Spatial Execution Gap, failing to translate visual semantics into precise, schema-valid coordinate operations in interactive environments. In this work, we show that model scale alone cannot close this gap; instead, verifiable structured reasoning provides the key to spatial precision. We present a comprehensive pipeline that leverages Group Relative Policy Optimization to enforce a strict Identify-Reason-Verify protocol, effectively shifting the computational burden from parameters to test-time reasoning. By utilizing a multi-agent system to distill optimal reasoning schemas and training on execution-verifiable rewards, our specialized 3B agent achieves 100% format coherence and 81.12% operation accuracy on digital whiteboard tasks. Crucially, our approach outperforms a state-of-the-art frontier model, GPT-5, by 16.75% in operation accuracy. The results suggest that for complex user interface manipulation, small, RL-aligned models with dedicated reasoning protocols are superior to generalist frontier models, offering a promising direction for building reliable web agents.
