WebChain: A Large-Scale Human-Annotated Dataset of Real-World Web Interaction Traces
Executive Summary
WebChain is introduced as the largest open-source dataset for web agents, featuring 31,725 human-annotated trajectories and 318k steps across 428 real-world websites. It provides multi-modal supervision through Triple Alignment of visual, structural, and action data. The dataset enables reproducible research and facilitates the development of scalable web agents, offering a rigorous evaluation suite (WebChainBench) and identifying a 'Dual Mid-Training' recipe that achieves state-of-the-art performance in spatial grounding and long-horizon planning. This initiative aims to democratize GUI agent research by breaking data monopolies and fostering community innovation with its comprehensive, open-source ecosystem.
