2026 Evolving Generalist Virtual Agents with Generative and Associative Memory
abstract
Generalist Virtual Agents (GVAs) powered by Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) exhibit impressive capabilities. However, their long-term learning is hampered by a core limitation: a failure to evolve beyond existing trajectories. This stems from memory systems that treat experiences as isolated fragments and rely on brittle semantic retrieval, preventing the synthesis of novel solutions from disparate knowledge. To address this, we introduce CA3Mem, a framework inspired by the human hippocampus that organizes experiences into a structured memory graph. Leveraging this graph, CA3Mem features two key innovations: 1) a generative memory recombination mechanism that synthesizes novel solutions to drive agent evolution, and 2) an associative retrieval algorithm that employs spreading activation to recall a comprehensive and contextually-aware set of experiences. Experiments on OSWorld and WebArena demonstrate that CA3Mem significantly enhances agent capabilities, leading to marked improvements in long-horizon planning, compositional generalization for novel tasks, and continuous adaptation from experience.

abstract
As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) advance, MLLM-based virtual agents have demonstrated remarkable performance. However, existing benchmarks face significant limitations, including uncontrollable task complexity, extensive manual annotation, and a lack of multidimensional evaluation. In response to these challenges, we introduce OmniBench, a self-generating, graph-based benchmark with an automated pipeline for synthesizing tasks of controllable complexity through subtask composition. To evaluate the diverse capabilities of virtual agents on the graph, we further present OmniEval, a multidimensional evaluation framework that includes subtask-level evaluation, graph-based metrics, and comprehensive tests across 10 capabilities. Our synthesized dataset contains 36k graph-structured tasks across 20 scenarios, achieving a 91% human acceptance rate. Training on our graph-structured data shows that it improves generalization across environments. We conduct multidimensional evaluations for virtual agents, revealing their performance across various capabilities and paving the way for future advancements. Our project is available at https://omni-bench.github.io.
