This repository contains the model for the paper UI-TARS: Pioneering Automated GUI Interaction with Native Agents.
Introduction
UI-TARS is a next-generation native GUI agent model designed to interact seamlessly with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using human-like perception, reasoning, and action capabilities. Unlike traditional modular frameworks, UI-TARS integrates all key components—perception, reasoning, grounding, and memory—within a single vision-language model (VLM), enabling end-to-end task automation without predefined workflows or manual rules.

Deployment
Cloud Deployment
We recommend using HuggingFace Inference Endpoints for fast deployment. We provide two docs for users to refer:
English version: GUI Model Deployment Guide
中文版: GUI模型部署教程
Local Deployment [Transformers]
We follow the same way as Qwen2-VL, check this tutorial for more details.
Local Deployment [vLLM]
We recommend using vLLM for fast deployment and inference. You need to use vllm>=0.6.1
.
pip install -U transformers
VLLM_VERSION=0.6.6
CUDA_VERSION=cu124
pip install vllm==${VLLM_VERSION} --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/${CUDA_VERSION}
Start an OpenAI API Service
Run the command below to start an OpenAI-compatible API service:
python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --served-model-name ui-tars --model <path to your model>
Then you can use the chat API as below with the gui prompt (choose from mobile or computer) and base64-encoded local images (see OpenAI API protocol document for more details):
import base64
from openai import OpenAI
instruction = "search for today's weather"
screenshot_path = "screenshot.png"
client = OpenAI(
base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1",
api_key="empty",
)
## Below is the prompt for mobile
prompt = r"""<|im_start|>system
You are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
You are a GUI agent. You are given a task and your action history, with screenshots. You need to perform the next action to complete the task.
## Output Format
```\nAction_Summary: ...
Action: ...\n```
## Action Space

long_press(start_box='<|box_start|>(x1,y1)<|box_end|>', time='')
type(content='')
scroll(direction='down or up or right or left')
open_app(app_name='')
navigate_back()
navigate_home()
WAIT()
finished() # Submit the task regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.
## Note
- Use English in `Action_Summary` part.
## User Instruction

with open(screenshot_path, "rb") as image_file:
encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode("utf-8")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="ui-tars",
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [

{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": f"data:image/png;base64,{encoded_string}"}},
],
},
],
frequency_penalty=1,
max_tokens=128,
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
Prompt Templates
We provide two prompt templates currently for stable running and performance, one for mobile scene and one for personal computer scene.
- Prompt template for mobile:
## Below is the prompt for mobile
prompt = r"""<|im_start|>system

wait() #Sleep for 5s and take a screenshot to check for any changes.
finished()
call_user() # Submit the task and call the user when the task is unsolvable, or when you need the user's help.

Local Deployment [Ollama]
Ollama can deploy the model via gguf format. Bugs exist for safetensors.
Get the model in GGUF format
We provide 2B and 7B model in GGUF format:
2B: https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/UI-TARS-2B-gguf
7B: https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/UI-TARS-7B-gguf
Users can convert the model into GGUF format by using the script from llama.cpp:
python3 convert_hf_to_gguf.py <path to your model>
The GGUF file will be generated under the path provided.
Deploy GGUF model
We deploy the model by following Ollama tutorial.
# Create Modelfile, Windows users can just create a file named Modelfile
echo "FROM ./path/to/model.gguf" > Modelfile
# Create model in Ollama
ollama create ui-tars -f Modelfile
# Run the model
ollama run ui-tars
Test script is same as vLLM except two changes:
...
client = OpenAI(
base_url="http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1/",
...
)
...
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="ui-tars" # the name we create via Ollama cli
...
)
Explanation of Inference Results
Coordinate Mapping
The model generates a 2D coordinate output that represents relative positions. To convert these values to image-relative coordinates, divide each component by 1000 to obtain values in the range [0,1]. The absolute coordinates required by the Action can be calculated by:
- X absolute = X relative × image width
- Y absolute = Y relative × image height
For example, given a screen size: 1920 × 1080, and the model generates a coordinate output of (235, 512). The X absolute is round(1920*235/1000)=451
. The Y absolute is round(1080*512/1000)=553
. The absolute coordinate is (451, 553)
Use in desktop and web automation
To experience ui-tars agent in desktop, you may refer to UI-TARS-desktop.
Midscene.js is an open-source web automation SDK that has supported UI-TARS model. Developers can use javascript and natural language to control the browser. See this guide for more details about setting up the model.
