As Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) mature, GUI agents are evolving from static interactions to complex navigation. While Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for training MLLM agents on dynamic GUI tasks, its effective application faces a dilemma.Standard Offline RL often relies on static step-level data, neglecting global trajectory semantics such as task completion and execution quality. Conversely, Online RL captures the long-term dynamics but suffers from high interaction costs and potential environmental instability. To bridge this gap, we propose SOLAR-RL (Semi Online Long-horizon RL). Instead of relying solely on expensive online interactions, our framework integrates global trajectory insights directly into the offline learning process. Specifically, we reconstruct diverse rollout candidates from static data, detect the first failure point using per-step validity signals, and retroactively assign dense step-level rewards with target-aligned shaping to reflect trajectory-level execution quality—effectively simulating online feedback without interaction costs.Extensive experiments demonstrate that SOLAR-RL significantly improves long-horizon task completion rates and robustness compared to strong baselines, offering a sample-efficient solution for autonomous GUI navigation.

Practical video editing is not only pixel generation: an editor must turn a brief, a clip pool, music metadata, and hard constraints into an executable timeline. We study this decision layer as executable video-editing planning and introduce RefineCut, which, unlike workflow systems that wrap a prompted frontier model, trains a compact open-weight planner for it. The planner edits a typed timeline through structured patches covering clip selection, trimming, ordering, transitions, and duration and music alignment; a deterministic verifier applies each patch and checks it against an explicit constraint ledger. Because editing has no single ground-truth repair, we do not imitate teachers directly: RefineCut replays every multi-teacher branch through the verifier and keeps verifier-best repairs as supervision. A second stage, RefineCut-Evo, lets the student score its own repairs with the verifier and a task rubric and trains on high-margin preference pairs, so the final 8B planner runs in a closed verifier loop with no teacher calls at inference. On RefineCut-Bench (3,578 tasks, 7,971 captioned clips, 499 music tracks, explicit ledgers), verifier-replayed distillation lifts the planner from 0.620 to 0.858 on the protocol-specific Video-Editing Score and RefineCut-Evo reaches 0.924; the gain transfers to Llama-3.1-8B and GLM-4-9B, and in the same closed loop the 8B planner matches or exceeds its frontier teachers. Code and RefineCut-Bench are publicly released; see the Data Availability statement.

High-quality tool-use data is critical for training language models to interact effectively with external tools. However, existing synthetic approaches typically follow a generate-then-filter paradigm with static post-hoc verification, often yielding inefficient data with imbalanced feature distributions. We propose ToolLoop, a closed-loop framework that decomposes synthesis into three progressive stages: (1) sampling function name combinations as ground truth; (2) backward derivation of user queries; and (3) forward derivation of tool calls. At each stage, dynamic self-feedback iteratively guides the model toward high-quality generation, realizing a transition from generate-then-filter to generate-verify-refine. On the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard (BFCL), a 4B parameter model trained with our 11K synthetic examples achieves 86.40% accuracy in non-reasoning mode, while an Isolate variant that removes BFCL-overlapping candidate functions still reaches 86.07%. Cross-benchmark evaluation on ACEBench further demonstrates strong generalization, with 72.1% overall accuracy using only 18.3% of baseline training data.
