Installation

pip install transformers peft accelerate bitsandbytes pillow torch

Quick Start

Loading the Model

from transformers import AutoModelForVision2Seq, AutoProcessor, BitsAndBytesConfig
from peft import PeftModel
import torch

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4"
)

model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct",
    quantization_config=quantization_config,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    "Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct",
    trust_remote_code=True
)

# Load and merge LoRA
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "mariklolik228/sav-gsp-draft-lora")
model = model.merge_and_unload()

GUI Element Grounding

from PIL import Image
import re

def locate_element(image_path: str, instruction: str) -> tuple:
    image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")
    
    prompt = f'''Look at this screenshot. Find and locate the element described below.

Element to find: {instruction}

Output your answer as coordinates in the format: (x, y) where x and y are normalized values between 0 and 1.

Coordinates:'''

    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "image", "image": image},
        {"type": "text", "text": prompt}
    ]}]
    
    text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
    inputs = processor(text=[text], images=[image], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
    inputs = {k: v.to(model.device) for k, v in inputs.items()}
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=False)
    
    response = processor.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
    
    match = re.search(r'\(([0-9.]+),\s*([0-9.]+)\)', response)
    if match:
        return float(match.group(1)), float(match.group(2))
    return None

# Usage
coords = locate_element("screenshot.png", "close button")

Multi-Action Prediction

def predict_actions(image_path: str, task: str, k: int = 3):
    image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")
    
    prompt = f'''Predict the next {k} actions to complete: {task}

For each action output: action_type, (x, y)'''

    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": [
        {"type": "image", "image": image},
        {"type": "text", "text": prompt}
    ]}]
    
    text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
    inputs = processor(text=[text], images=[image], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
    inputs = {k: v.to(model.device) for k, v in inputs.items()}
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=300, do_sample=False)
    
    return processor.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

Comparison with SOTA

Method	ScreenSpot-Pro	OSWorld-G	Notes
MAI-UI (SOTA, 2025)	73.5%	70.9%	RL-optimized
SAV-GSP (ours)	39.0%	-	Zero-shot
Claude 3.5 Sonnet	~35%	~25%	General VLM
Human	~95%	~72%	Estimated

Limitations

1. Grounding Gap: 34.5% below SOTA due to training on action prediction rather than grounding
2. IoU Performance: Poor bounding box alignment (3% IoU@50)
3. Platform: Trained primarily on Windows; Android/iOS/Web may vary
4. Speculation Depth: K>2 shows no improvement

• Base Model: Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct
• Method: LoRA (r=16, α=32, dropout=0.05)
• Data: ScreenSpot-Pro subset (~200 samples)
• Epochs: 3
• Batch Size: 2 (grad accum: 8)
