AI SignalWeblica: Scalable and Reproducible Training Environments for Visual Web Agents
arXiv:2605.06761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The web is complex, open-ended, and constantly changing, making it challenging to scale training data for visual web agents. Existing data collection attempts remain limited to offline trajectories for supervised fine-tuning or a handful of simulated environments for RL training, thus failing to capture web diversity. We propose Weblica (Web Replica), a framework for constructing reproducible and scalable web environments. Our framework leverages 1) HTTP-level caching to capture and replay stable visual states while preserving interactive behavior and 2) LLM-based environment synthesis grounded in real-world websites and core web navigation skills. Using this framework, we scale RL training to thousands of diverse environments and tasks. Our best model, Weblica-8B, outperforms open-weight baselines of similar size across multiple web navigation benchmarks while using fewer inference steps, scales favorably with additional test-time compute, and is competitive with API models.
