A useful phone agent needs to be personally intelligent. It should reason over a user’s identity, history, and preferences as they exist on the device, not just follow isolated instructions in an impersonal sandbox. Existing mobile agent benchmarks lack this kind of personalization. We introduce iOSWorld, the first interactive native iOS simulator benchmark built around a persistent user identity spanning 26 newly built iOS apps. These apps form a controlled ecosystem for one synthetic user, with connected transactions, messages, travel records, social relationships, and financial activity. iOSWorld includes 133 tasks across three increasingly difficult categories. Single-app tasks (27) test one app, multi-app tasks (60) span 2 to 8 apps, and memory and personalization tasks (46) require agents to infer patterns from personal data. We evaluate frontier and open-source computer-use models in both vision-only and privileged vision+XML settings. The best configuration reaches 52% overall but only 37% on multi-app tasks. Privileged vision+XML access improves frontier models by up to 26 percentage points, while smaller models do not benefit from added accessibility-tree input. We release iOSWorld as an open-source benchmark with all apps, seeded data, tasks, rubrics, and evaluation code at https://iosworld.io.

Existing web agent benchmarks have largely converged on short, single-site tasks that frontier models are approaching saturation on. However, real-world web use consists of long-horizon, multi-site workflows. Common web navigation tasks, such as comparing products across different domains, planning trips across multiple services, or summarizing information from multiple search queries, require sustained context and cross-site reasoning over potentially hours of browsing. To capture and evaluate such behaviors, we introduce Odysseys: a benchmark of 200 long-horizon web tasks derived from real world browsing sessions evaluated on the live Internet. We find that binary pass/fail evaluation is inadequate for long-horizon settings and introduce a rubric-based evaluation, annotating each Odysseys task with an average of 6.1 graded rubrics. We demonstrate that this yields higher agreement with humans and provides a more fine-grained signal than commonly used trajectory-level LLM-as-a-judge evaluation metrics. We tested several leading frontier models and find that the strongest models achieve a success rate of 44.5%, which leaves substantial room for future improvements. Beyond task success, we argue that efficiency is a first-class concern for long-horizon agents. We introduce a Trajectory Efficiency metric (rubric score[object Object] per step) and find that even frontier agents achieve only 1.15%, marking an evident need for agents that can succeed efficiently and not simply eventually. Odysseys isolates the critical evaluation of long-horizon proficiency in open-web environments, providing a realistic benchmark to measure progress towards computer-use agents that can potentially productively operate for hours. We release our tasks, evaluation scripts, and other results at https://odysseysbench.com.
