EvoGenUI-Bench: Evaluating LLMs as Multi-Turn Generative UI Assistants

Large language models can generate interactive web interfaces, but reliable generative UI requires maintaining an executable artifact as user requests evolve. We introduce EvoGenUI-Bench, a benchmark for multi-turn interface maintenance comprising 150 five-turn tasks and 750 turns across three scenarios: information presentation, executable interaction, and tool-grounded external state. We execute generated artifacts in a browser and evaluate them using screenshots, source and DOM evidence, actor traces, and runtime logs. Beyond turn-level and episode-level success, we measure cross-turn retention with Adjacent Pass Retention. Across eight models, even the strongest achieves 74.9% Turn Pass while completing only 37.3% of five-turn episodes; APR further falls to 52.4% on tool-grounded tasks. Diagnostic analysis shows that presentation failures center on information architecture, interaction failures on derived-state propagation and affordance binding, and tool-grounded failures additionally involve external-state grounding and requirement decomposition. These results reframe generative UI evaluation from judging isolated outputs to testing whether interface behavior, derived state, external state, and assistant claims remain synchronized as the artifact evolves.

GLM-5V-Turbo: Toward a Native Foundation Model for Multimodal Agents

We present GLM-5V-Turbo, a step toward native foundation models for multimodal agents. As foundation models are increasingly deployed in real environments, agentic capability depends not only on language reasoning, but also on the ability to perceive, interpret, and act over heterogeneous contexts such as images, videos, webpages, documents, GUIs. GLM-5V-Turbo is built around this objective: multimodal perception is integrated as a core component of reasoning, planning, tool use, and execution, rather than as an auxiliary interface to a language model. This report summarizes the main improvements behind GLM-5V-Turbo across model design, multimodal training, reinforcement learning, toolchain expansion, and integration with agent frameworks. These developments lead to strong performance in multimodal coding, visual tool use, and framework-based agentic tasks, while preserving competitive text-only coding capability. More importantly, our development process offers practical insights for building multimodal agents, highlighting the central role of multimodal perception, hierarchical optimization, and reliable end-to-end verification.

Attentive Sequence to Sequence Translation for Localizing Clips of Interest by Natural Language Descriptions

We propose a novel attentive sequence to sequence translator (ASST) for clip localization in videos by natural language descriptions. We make two contributions. First, we propose a bi-directional Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with a finely calibrated vision-language attentive mechanism to comprehensively understand the free-formed natural language descriptions. The RNN parses natural language descriptions in two directions, and the attentive model attends every meaningful word or phrase to each frame, thereby resulting in a more detailed understanding of video content and description semantics. Second, we design a hierarchical architecture for the network to jointly model language descriptions and video content. Given a video-description pair, the network generates a matrix representation, i.e., a sequence of vectors. Each vector in the matrix represents a video frame conditioned by the description. The 2D representation not only preserves the temporal dependencies of frames but also provides an effective way to perform frame-level video-language matching. The hierarchical architecture exploits video content with multiple granularities, ranging from subtle details to global context. Integration of the multiple granularities yields a robust representation for multi-level video-language abstraction. We validate the effectiveness of our ASST on two large-scale datasets. Our ASST outperforms the state-of-the-art by $4.28\%$ in Rank$@1$ on the DiDeMo dataset. On the Charades-STA dataset, we significantly improve the state-of-the-art by $13.41\%$ in Rank$@1,IoU=0.5$.
