GUI-Actor-7B with Qwen2.5-VL-7B as backbone VLM

This model was introduced in the paper GUI-Actor: Coordinate-Free Visual Grounding for GUI Agents. It is developed based on Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct , augmented by an attention-based action head and finetuned to perform GUI grounding using the dataset here.
