Global SOTA on Dual Benchmarks! MiningLamp Technology’s Specialized GUI Model Mano Unveils New Era of Intelligent GUI Operation

BEIJING, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In 2025, “Agent” is undoubtedly a buzzword in the AI community. It is widely believed that truly useful Agents must learn to use mobile phones and computers, and interact with GUI (Graphical User Interface) just like humans.

Recently, MiningLamp Technology—the leading Chinese enterprise in enterprise-level large models and data intelligence—announced that its specialized GUI Large Model Mano achieved record-breaking SOTA (State of the Art) performance on two industry-recognized benchmark tests: Mind2Web and OSWorld. Through two core innovations—online reinforcement learning and automated training data acquisition—Mano establishes a scalable and self-evolving paradigm for GUI agent development.

Mano achieved SOTA in the Foundation E2E GUI & Specialized Model Evaluation on the OSWorld-Verified Leaderboard.

Technical report link: https://www.mininglamp.com/news/6394/

Key Breakthroughs:

  1. Mind2Web: Mind2Web covers 137 websites and more than 2,350 real-world tasks, designed to test whether an agent can precisely locate target elements within complex and ever-changing DOM structures—and successfully execute the entire sequence of actions. Mano demonstrated its core strength: “Seeing clearly and delivering results.” 

    The technical report reveals that Mano significantly outperforms others in both Element Accuracy (Ele.Acc) and Step Success Rate (Step SR), achieving new benchmarks in accurately identifying and locating interface elements, as well as executing multi-step tasks with remarkable precision. Additionally, Mano’s Operational F1 Score (Op.F1) matches or even slightly surpasses that of leading models, demonstrating its ability to transform complex tasks into actionable operation sequences.

  2. OSWorld-Verified: The tougher challenge comes from the desktop side. OSWorld-Verified covers 369 cross-app tasks, spanning 10 categories of applications—including browsers, office software, and more, while each operation seamlessly aligns with real-world desktop scenarios.

    The technical report reveals that in the Foundation E2E GUI & Specialized Model evaluation on the OSWorld-Verified leaderboard, Mano directly boosted the success rate to 41.6 ± 0.7%, surpassing models such as Qwen, GUI-Owl, and OpenCua.

Technical Innovations:

Highlight One: First Proposal of “Online Reinforcement Learning”

Since the emergence of DeepSeek, GRPO has become the gold standard in reinforcement learning. Currently, most model training is still confined to the realm of offline reinforcement learning, relying on pre-collected datasets. However, in the field of GUI-based interactive agents, every operation is closely related to the real system interaction environment.

Therefore, Mano first proposed the “online reinforcement learning” training paradigm in the field of GUI interaction, and launched an “explorer” for automated training data acquisition, which enables the agent to continuously learn from the up-to-date information, keeping a dynamic balance between “trying new actions to gain insights” and “executing optimal moves based on existing knowledge.”

To continuously enhance adaptability and flexibility in real-world interaction scenarios, MiningLamp Technology established a simulation environment pool, encompassing Browser Use Agent (BUA) and Computer Use Agent (CUA) environments, enabling models to gather diverse environmental data  through real-world interactions. This approach addresses the limitations of sparse distribution of offline trajectories, ultimately demonstrating greater robustness across a wide range of Web GUI scenarios.

Meanwhile, MiningLamp Technology employs an innovative approach—online sampling + offline filtering. First, collecting trajectories, and then filtering out noisy data. This method dynamically adjusts the distribution of task difficulty, effectively preventing learning inefficiency caused by failed trajectories.

Ablation study results show that after adding online reinforcement learning, the model achieved a significant improvement in its average score on the OSWorld-Verified dataset, surpassing the performance of the offline reinforcement learning model by 7.9 points, reaching a total of 41.6.

Highlight Two: Intelligent Exploration, Capturing Real-World Environmental Trajectories

Although large models can understand broad instructions, they often struggle to break down complex, goal-driven tasks requiring multiple steps into specific execution steps. As a result, developers need to develop specialized models and agents for interactive tasks. This process requires massive volumes of high-quality interactive trajectory data. Historically, such data has typically required manual construction or annotation, which was both costly and time-consuming. To address this challenge, MiningLamp Technology has designed an automated method for collecting training data, fundamentally boosting both the efficiency and accuracy of data acquisition. This is precisely Mano’s second major innovation.

MiningLamp Technology has built a scalable virtual environment cluster designed to simulate a variety of interactive scenarios. For each target application, the large model automatically generates a target list, prioritizes these targets, filters out functions with extremely low usage frequency, and provides clear contextual guidance for subsequent exploration.

In terms of element extraction, MiningLamp Technology has customized a Chrome plugin called “Mano-C” specifically for web environments, comprehensively extracting interactive elements and capturing their spatial coordinates and semantic attributes. For desktop environments, the technical team employs a combined approach using A11y Tree parsing and OmniParseV2 collaborative filtering, ensuring broader coverage of interactive elements.

In terms of data annotation, MiningLamp Technology has generated semantic labels, functional descriptions, and interaction categories for each extracted element by large models, thereby forming structured semantically aligned data that provides effective supervision for subsequent training.

To enhance the intelligence of data collection, the technical team designed a Prompt-based exploration module that intelligently selects interactive elements, and introduced explicit constraints to prevent path loops and redundant branches. During the exploration process, a depth-first search (DFS) strategy is employed. The system captures screenshots and saves annotated interaction data. Once exploration is completed, filtering out high-quality interaction sequences by trajectory evaluation mechanism. The entire process runs in a continuous loop, checking at each step whether it reaches the maximum exploration depth.

Mano’s state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance is attributed to MiningLamp Technology’s years of accumulation in large models. In 2024, MiningLamp Technology’s hypergraph multimodal large language model (HMLLM) and Video-SME dataset made significant breakthroughs in non-standard modality data processing (e.g., EEG, eye-tracking), recognized by ACM MM 2024 Best Paper Nomination.In 2025, MiningLamp Technology launched DeepMiner, a trustworthy intelligent agent for business data analysis .As DeepMiner’s automated execution engine, Mano has enabled the agent to truly learn to “see” and “click,” achieving precise operations in complex software and browser environments. Looking ahead, MiningLamp Technology will further optimize Mano’s capabilities for application and edge-side deployment, accelerating the pace of enterprise intelligent transformation.

MiningLamp Technology Launches Large Model Product Line DeepMiner, Building Trustworthy Intelligent Agents for Business Data Analysis

BEIJING, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, MiningLamp Technology, a leading enterprise in China’s enterprise-level large models and data intelligence sector, officially launched its specialized large model product line DeepMiner. Targeting business data analysis, DeepMiner aims to provide enterprises with more efficient, verifiable data processing and decision-making support capabilities through trustworthy intelligent agents.

 

The Introduction of DeepMiner

Wu Minghui, Founder, CEO, and CTO of MiningLamp Technology, emphasized that AI development has entered a new phase centered on intelligent agents. Unlike consumer-facing “one-sentence generation” applications, enterprises prioritize accuracy and traceability in production environments. DeepMiner was designed to meet the demand for transparency and reliability in enterprise scenarios.

DeepMiner adopts a Multi-Agent Architecture (MoA), enabling it to match the optimal model for processing each specific business segment, significantly enhancing system optimization efficiency compared to Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. From task decomposition and tool calling to result generation, users can transparently review each step’s logic. Human-machine interaction mechanisms also allow real-time intervention to minimize “hallucinations” and ensure output verifiability.

Additionally, DeepMiner integrates commercial databases across advertising, retail, e-commerce, and other sectors to guarantee data authenticity and comprehensiveness, reducing hallucination risks from the source. Actual tests show that its hallucination rate in vertical industries significantly lower than foundation models.

Technically, DeepMiner is centrally orchestrated by an intelligent hub—the Foundation Agent—which coordinates the collaborative work of all components. The Cito model serves as the analytical decision hub, dynamically constructing specialized reasoning chains for complex business problems while narrowing action spaces via human-AI collaboration to enhance efficiency. The Mano model serves as an automated execution engine, enabling agents to truly learn to “see” and “click”, achieving precise operations in complex software and browser environments. Through Foundation Agent coordination, DeepMiner merges Cito’s deep reasoning capabilities with Mano’s execution prowess, creating an end-to-end intelligent automation loop from business insight to operational execution.

Huang Nan, Product Manager of DeepMiner noted that the evolution from Generative AI to Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift: Agents endow large models with “eyes and hands” to proactively execute tasks. This precision in tool calling is made possible by the performance of the Browser Use Agent (BUA) and Computer Use Agent (CUA). However, foundation models aren’t specifically trained for software operation, resulting in suboptimal performance in complex business scenarios.

To address this, MiningLamp Technology developed the Mano model, through continuous reinforcement learning, can autonomously explores and adapts to new platforms and workflows, demonstrating superior capabilities in real-world business scenarios. Notably, Mano has already topped two globally authoritative benchmark tests—Mind2Web and OSWorld—both achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance.

Wu Minghui, Founder, CEO, and CTO of MiningLamp Technology stated: “Trustworthiness is the core standard for enterprises adopting AI, and DeepMiner’s mission is to empower enterprises with trustworthy productivity by delivering trustworthy Agentic model and data.”

From big data to large models, MiningLamp Technology has firmly demonstrated its ability to navigate through technological cycles, thanks to nearly two decades of deep expertise in the data intelligence. The launch of DeepMiner marks a significant strategic move into the large model era for MiningLamp Technology. Moving forward, MiningLamp Technology will also launch dedicated intelligent agents based on DeepMiner, targeting vertical industries such as finance, law, human resources, and manufacturing.
