AI agents may assist with emails and documents, but can they reliably complete everyday online workflows on real websites? Everyday online tasks offer a realistic yet unsolved testbed for evaluating next-generation AI agents. To this end, we introduce ClawBench, an evaluation framework comprising 153 everyday online tasks common in daily life and work, spanning 144 platforms across 15 categories, from completing purchases and booking appointments to submitting job applications. These tasks require capabilities beyond existing benchmarks, such as obtaining relevant information from user-provided documents, navigating multi-step workflows across diverse platforms, and write-heavy operations like filling in many detailed forms correctly. Unlike existing benchmarks that evaluate agents in offline sandboxes with static pages, ClawBench operates on production websites, preserving the full complexity, dynamic nature, and interaction challenges of real-world web environments. An interception layer captures and blocks the final submission request, ensuring safe evaluation without real-world side effects. Our evaluations of 8 frontier models show that both proprietary and open-source models complete only a small portion of these tasks. For example, Claude Sonnet 4.6 achieves only 33.3%, which exposes gaps in current AI agents. Progress on ClawBench brings us closer to AI agents that can function as general-purpose assistants.

Large language models with billions of parameters are often over-provisioned: many layers contribute little unique information yet dominate the memory and energy footprint during inference. We present LieQ (Layer-wise information effectiveness Quantization), a hardware-native, metric-driven post-training quantization framework that addresses the critical challenge of maintaining accuracy in sub-8B models, model parameters less than 8B, under extreme low-bit compression. LieQ keeps uniform bit-width within each layer while mixing precision across layers, preserving standard multiplication kernels and avoiding irregular memory access, codebooks, or irregular formats at inference time. Our method uncovers a strong correlation between layer-wise functional saliency and representational compactness, revealing that layers with higher training-induced energy concentration are functionally irreplaceable. Leveraging this insight, we propose a purely geometry-driven sensitivity proxy that enables automatic bit-width allocation under a target average-bit budget without expensive gradient updates or inference-based perplexity probing. Under an average weight bit-width approaching two bits per parameter, LieQ consistently reduces the large accuracy gap typically observed for naive uniform 2-bit baselines on Qwen3 and LLaMA3.x families, while retaining standard-kernel efficiency. These properties make LieQ a practical path toward deploying small language models on resource-constrained edge devices. Code will be available at: https://github.com/HeXiao-55/LieQ-official.git.

Layer-wise mixed-precision quantization (LMPQ) enables effective compression under extreme low-bit settings by allocating higher precision to sensitive layers. However, existing methods typically treat all intra-layer weight modules uniformly and rely on a single numerical property when estimating sensitivity, overlooking their distinct operational roles and structural characteristics. To address this, we propose NSDS, a novel calibration-free LMPQ framework driven by Numerical and Structural Dual-Sensitivity. Specifically, it first mechanistically decomposes each layer into distinct operational roles and quantifies their sensitivity from both numerical and structural perspectives. These dual-aspect scores are then aggregated into a unified layer-wise metric through a robust aggregation scheme based on MAD-Sigmoid and Soft-OR to guide bit allocation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that NSDS consistently achieves superior performance compared to various baselines across diverse models and downstream tasks, without relying on any calibration data.
