The remarkable progress of vision–language models (VLMs) has enabled computer-use agents to interact with computers in a human-like manner. Yet real-world computer-use tasks remain difficult due to long-horizon workflows, diverse interfaces, and frequent intermediate errors. Prior work equips agents with external memory built from large collections of trajectories, but relies on flat retrieval over discrete summaries or continuous embeddings, falling short of the structured organization and self-evolving characteristics of human memory. Inspired by the brain, we propose Hybrid Self-evolving Structured Memory (HyMEM), a graph-based memory that couples discrete high-level symbolic nodes with continuous trajectory embeddings. HyMEM maintains a graph structure to support multi-hop retrieval, self-evolution via node update operations, and on-the-fly working-memory refreshing during inference. Extensive experiments show that HyMEM consistently improves open-source computer-use agents, enabling 7B/8B backbones to match or surpass strong closed-source models; notably, it boosts Qwen2.5-VL-7B by +22.5% and outperforms Gemini2.5-Pro-Vision and GPT-4o.

To close the gap between LLM-based agents and humans in planning and reasoning, agents need large-scale, diverse environments for continuous learning—yet building such environments is itself prohibitively expensive. We present C-World, an environment creation system that enables users to build agent environments on demand. We define a complete agent environment through four components: an Action Space of 5,571 format-unified tools across 204 common applications, a Task Distribution engine that synthesizes long-horizon workflows with wild constraints, a Transition Function implemented as a state controller that injects realistic failures and perturbations, and a Reward Signal combining verifiable metrics with LLM-based judgment. C-World operates in two modes: a realistic mode grounded in live API execution, and a synthesized mode powered by the World Engine, which approximates tool behavior without live service access, enabling scalable environment creation—including environments for domains and tools that do not yet exist in the real world. Evaluation of nine state-of-the-art LLMs reveals that planning ability is uniformly strong but execution remains the bottleneck, and that constraint following—not tool invocation—is the dominant failure mode. The World Engine achieves Spearman 𝜌 = 0.883 ranking correlation with real execution, and fine-tuning on just 1,170 C-World trajectories outperforms baselines trained on 119k samples, demonstrating C-World’s dual value as a rigorous evaluation environment and a scalable data engine.
