  - Summary: arXiv:2609.12394v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mobile GUI agents are shifting from multi-module frameworks to native models trained end-to-end, yet industrial deployment.
  - What happened: arXiv:2609.12394v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mobile GUI agents are shifting from multi-module frameworks to native models trained end-to-end, yet industrial.
  - Why it matters: Every Query Evolves: a quota-driven benchmark methodology with three orthogonal axes enables precise attribution and allows the benchmark to be systematically upgraded.
  - What to do: Validate with one small internal benchmark and compare against your current baseline this week.
